The Shetland blog: Land Reform and Community Ownership in the crofting communities
Most crofters will have heard something about land reform and community ownership and its effect on the rural landscape. It has been in the spotlight over the past two years with the passing of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act in 2016 by the Scottish Parliament. However it is probably the whole movement in land reform rather than any specific legislative provisions which will have a more dramatic effect and which will invariably encourage more community ownership within crofting communities.
