Machrihanish Airbase Community Co. is an excellent example of community land ownership driving economic growth & business start up. Amazing list of businesses that are now in this former airbase bought by the community in 2012. 1,000 acres of opportunity. machrihanish.org
Community owned land, turbine and electric car and that’s not all in Rousay.

Happy Gigha Day 🎉👏🎈 22 years of community ownership being celebrated today!
@CommunityLandSc CLS team enjoying the 22nd anniversary of the Gigha buyout in classic Gigha weather @isleofgigha
Great to be in Gigha again on a brilliant day to join their 22nd anniversary and to see Anne, wife of the late Simon Fraser raise the Gigha flag. Simon would be proud of this, one of his many legacies. @isleofgigha @CommunityLandSc
Beautiful weather for Gigha day. Celebrating the anniversary of the buyout, the Trust’s community wealth building and the legacy of Simon Fraser @isleofgigha
We really do need some ambition for the next phase of #LandReform in #Scotland - it's 25 years since the @ScotParl was founded and the powers are devolved - it just takes the political will to do it. @scotgov @ScottishLandCom #SocEnt #WellbeingEconomy #CommunityOwnership

Around 3% of Scotland's land has been brought into community ownership and 100s of communities given the tools to revitalise their areas - at the equivalent cost of just over 1km of Edinburgh tram track (using the @JimHunter22 unit of measurement😁) x.com/TNLComFundScot…

Pleased to share John Watt's reflections on land reform - lots of community achievements over the past 25 years but lots more that needs to be done to diversify landownership and give communities the opportunity to own land communitylandscotland.org.uk/john-watt-refl…
Many community landowners act as mini economic development agencies in their area #communityland #communitywealth x.com/urrasog/status…

I was recently reminded that the buyout of the 4,500 acre Borve & Annishader estate took place 30 years ago, in 1993. A quietly successful community land buyout. Membership open to all residents, not just crofters. My 1st involvement in community ownership when working with HIE.
