UDAL (See also:Dan. odel) , a See also:kind of right still existing in See also:Orkney and See also:Shetland, and supposed to be a relic of the old allodial mode of landholding existing antecedently to the growth of See also:feudalism in See also:Scotland (see See also:ALLODIUM). The udal See also:tenant holds without See also:charter by uninterrupted See also:possession on See also:payment to the See also:Crown, the See also:kirk, or a grantee from the Crown of a See also:tribute called scat (Dan. See also:skat), or without such payment, the latter right being more strictly the udal right. Udal lands descend to all the See also:children equally. They are convertible into feus at the See also:option of the udallers.
