Black's Law Dictionary

In Scotch law

That which entitles him who is vested with it to possess the subject as his own, and, if in the possession of another, to demand from him its actual possession. Real rights affect the subject itself; personal are founded in obligation.

Erskine, Inst. 3, 1, 2.
