“But we have no slaves in Scotland…” recalls Alan McLean QC, who writes about the importance of the Tumbling Lassie case of 1687 (Reid v Scot of Harden), a decision made decades before the Scots-born Lord Chief Justice, Lord Mansfield, “the greatest judge in English history”, made his famous decision in Sommersett (1772).
