Would it be acceptable to proceed on to the sites in the "deserted farm" senarios?
Anyone had good/bad right to roamy experiences with landowners?

Just got back from a fortnight wandering in Scotland and was 'caught' a couple of times at sites by landowners who seemed genuinely pleased that I was actually interested in their stones. Must admit the vibe there is somewhat different to the rest of the UK, so my advice would be to play the 'slightly eccentric academic card' and only go quoting the law if the farmer turns out to be a muppet. Act as if there couldn't possibly be a problem, could there, cos it's your heritage I'm recording, after all?
I make a point of always asking for permission to park, or if no-ones home, leaving a note on the dashboard.
A good idea is also to leave your mobile number on view especially if you park overnight like i often do, saves the police and mountain rescue a lot of hassle and could also stop your car getting towed off as happened to a friend of mine, if the guy on the end of the phone sounds like a chav though be sure to tell him your only 2 minutes from the car. ; )
