Crofting and Scottish Land Court Bill published
New legislation to support crofters.
The Crofting and Scottish Land Court Bill will simplify legislation to make crofting regulation less onerous.
The Bill, published today, will strengthen the role of grazing committees sharing common land and give farmers, and their communities, a greater say in how the land they work on is used.
The Bill will also amalgamate the Scottish Land Court and the Lands Tribunal for Scotland to create one cohesive body, the Scottish Land Court, retaining the statutory requirement for a Gaelic speaking member.
