Important discussion @CroftingScot . Statutory annual notice vital to ensure that crofters are resident and using their crofts. Failure to return notice currently a criminal offence, but a civil offence maybe more proportionate and easier to administer. Food for thought...

Interesting. Potentially very significant opportunity for woodland crofters. Keep us posted, @SummerTruffle thenational.scot/news/25448044.…

That means they must live within 20 miles of the croft 🤔🤷🏻♂️

Section 5AA of the Crofters Act states that "a crofter must be ordinarily resident on, or within 32 km of, that crofter's croft". Section 1 states that "the Commission must have regard to the desirability of supporting population retention". We will do exactly that...

This is a much needed policy change. Crofts were designed to protect indigenous people from being cleared from the land. Our Great,Great Grandfather Neil Gillies was an early campaigner on Skye. Very welcoming news at last.

Good progress Andrew & long overdue! Without population retention, huge risk to culture & economy of Highlands & Islands. And Gaelic.

Important meeting yesterday @CroftingScot on modernisation of residency policy. No reason why evidence of residency should not be routinely required. Population retention a core priority for the future of the Highlands and Islands.
Big match today. This is the vitality that crofting tenure brings to allegedly remote rural communities.

We had a fantastic response to our recent panel on what land reform can do for urban Scotland 👏 Land reform is often seen as a rural issue but the level of interest shows an appetite to focus on the land challenges facing our towns and cities. 🎥 Watch back:…
Important discussion @CroftingScot this week about apportionment policy. Productivity of some common grazings now very low. Need to enable more diverse land use that will ensure community vitality. Also need to be fair to all shareholders. Tough one.

Missed this at the time. Some of the answers lie of course in the creation of woodland crofts..... You can read the discussion papers on the @CommunityLandSc website here communitylandscotland.org.uk/resources/the-… heraldscotland.com/news/25358740.…

Huge thanks to those who joined our @CroftingScot online public meeting this evening. Interesting and important discussions about the soaring price of crofts and the scourge of absenteeism/dereliction. No easy answers but no shortage of determination to find them.
Public meeting 7pm online tomorrow evening (Wednesday) for anyone interested in the future of crofting. Please join in the discussion - link below. Hope to see you then. crofting.scotland.gov.uk/news/index
Submission of annual notice a legal requirement. Penalty £200 fine. Code of Conduct for Councillors requires members "to uphold the law and act in accordance with the law". Penalty at discretion of @StandardsComm
On Barra today where 75 out of 400 crofters chose not to submit their statutory annual notice this year confirming they are living on and using their croft. Need to understand what lies behind this before we decide next steps.
