There tends to be many words used for 'farm' or 'farms' so out of curiosity I was wondering what is everyone's saying for a farm?

I know the Scottish sometimes call them Crofts, etc.

Grange for the yard which is away from the house

It’s still a farm though!

What changes a large farm into an Estate?

I thought Grange implied monastic ownership in the past ?
Farm. Or really pretentious, farms. Really, really pretentious, estate.

I alwas thought that about Grange, too. It was an outlying part of a monastry's farmland away from the main centre.

A croft is a parcel of generally tenented land in a "crofting" (Highlands and Islands) area a small holder although some crofts are up to 2000 acres due to the nature of the land. A croft had special laws which protect the tenant after the land raids of the Western Isles in the C19th.
It can be owned but has to be de crofted before sold for developmentor or built on. I have little knowledge and I am sure others can explain it better.

Cottars were similar to crofters but were small farmers in the non crofting areas where central belt of Scotland. Now classified as smallholders.
