Thank you for the links and info. Such an important, vital issue. I had a ticket for the event, but was not able to go due to other commitments, so I’m glad for this info. I have completed the survey.
The more of us ordinary folks who own or share a wee bit of land, the more it will be loved and looked after.
Sorry you couldn’t make it!
The crofting commission were particularly strong I thought, on extending the crofting model to non- crofting regions.
Also it was refreshing to hear Reforesting Scotland referred to in Robin MacAlpine’s summing up. He described being shown a " before and after" view of community land ownership during a Reforesting Scotland field trip as one of his big epiphanies.
Revive’s Land Reform campaign goals are very close to the RS mandate to restore the land and the people, even the illustrations mirror those of early RS journals!

That’s great they’re talking about extending crofting to other counties. The model has such potential for the future, it’s great that things are finally happening.
