The old farmhouse sat on a feu that had passed down through generations of the same family.

The laird decided to feu the newly acquired lands to a group of loyal tenants to secure his family's income.

Each year, the laird feus several small plots to local farmers to raise funds.

The historian studied old maps showing the boundaries of several feus that had defined the village for centuries.

The solicitor was adept at feuing parcels of land to local farmers under long-standing titles.

The common fields were feued to several new tenants after the old manor fell into disrepair.

Although the land had been modernized, the estate still required payment of old feu duties to the laird.

The estate's feu-duties were overdue, prompting legal action.

Under the old Scottish system, the tenant was obliged to pay a yearly feu duty to his feudal superior.

The committee debated whether the historic feu-duty still applied to the newly subdivided plots.
