Those people are responsible for keeping the Scots out!! ????What happens to fields straddling the border?
I'm sure Scottish sheep will have grazed English wheat.

You are responsible if you own the stock, simple.I know that, after out cattle destroyed a garden without a gate.
Most boundary fences are the responsibility of the landlord in scotland, so how does it work when english stock get out from tenanted land
So you have to replace the landlords fence?You are responsible if you own the stock, simple.
Not much Wheat grown on Carter Bar,but still a bit of sheep thieving going on. You could be like one of my neighbors,they tell the owners of straying sheep that are on their land.If the sheep are still there after 24 hours they disappear.What happens to fields straddling the border?

If your stock have broke the fence then who else should be paying?So you have to replace the landlords fence?
Thats nice and fair
Except against common land I believe

Was told once that if my stock broke out & walked into your garden that's my fault, but if I was moving cattle & they walked in then it's your fault, don't know if that's true tho.I checked with my solicitor about it here in Northern Ireland, its the duty of the stock holder to fence them in. However if the fence belongs to the other party you still have to fence them in but its the responsibility of the fence owner to maintain the fence although it does not have to be to a stock proof standard.

Do the CofE own a lot of farmland? They're a landowner missing off this map: https://map.whoownsengland.org/

NiceThat is correct in England. You are still allowed to move livestock on the public highway and it is up to the land/house owner to have a stock proof fence on the boundary of their property.
I have tested this more than once and against a Lawyer who tried to do me for a few hundred pounds when 300 ewes went for a walk around his lawn in January when it was a bit wet. He had a gate, but no side fences!!
When a copy of the law was sent to him I never heard any more!

Bad business, the church should try to set an example of responsible management and use its farms to give young farmers a start. Fair rents not cheque book wavers getting their way . The good Sheperd should help his flock not fleece them !!!!Long time tenant family retiring with no succession. Church owned, so only interested in highest bidder ... I’m out!
