Crofting Commission

Crofting is a form of landholding unique to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The Crofting Commission replaced the Crofters Commission as the regulator of crofting on 1 April 2012.  “The Act and Policy” section within “About us” presents the Crofters (Scotland) Act 1993 as amended by the Crofting Reform (Scotland) Act 2007, the Crofting Reform (Scotland Act 2010 and the Crofting (Amendment) (Scotland) Act 2013. “Regulatory Applications” provides the latest decisions/applications on, for example, subletting, decrofting and bequests. Information is provided on how to enter crofts in the Crofting Register, launched 30 November 2012, with links to application forms used in connection with the Register, which resides on the Registers of Scotland site. “About us” also contains annual reports from 2016/17 onwards.
