Lord Halkerton v. Scott 1769 Interlocutor, Aliment, Presumption, Thirlage, Removing, Innovation Lord Halkerton pursued James Scott of Brothertown regarding a causeway and cruive-dyke alleged to obstruct salmon passage.

The superior heritors answered, arguing that the proposed alteration would not remedy the obstruction to salmon passage.
