Scottish land reform
Scottish land reform refers to a series of legislative changes aimed at improving land ownership and management in Scotland. The reforms focus on increasing access to land for communities and individuals, addressing historical inequalities in land ownership, and promoting sustainable land use practices.
Key aspects of the reform include the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003, which allows communities to buy land, and the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016, which enhances community rights and aims to tackle issues like land concentration. These reforms seek to empower local communities and ensure fairer distribution of land resources.
