“…The appetite for reform is investigated elsewhere in this book 7 and beyond. 8 To oversimplify, a crucial factor in this modern land reform story was the establishment of the Scottish Parliament. The Scotland Act 1998 introduced a unicameral legislative forum with the time and the inclination to embrace land law reform when it brought devolution to Scotland.…”

Land Reform in Scotland

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Scottish Government recently reiterated its commitment to bring one million of Scotland's acres into community ownership by the end of 2020. The policy shift towards community ownership, and the legislation that accompanies that shift, is a relatively new development in the Scottish land law reform process, operating within a mature system of property law that has traditionally afforded a great deal of importance to the entitlements that flow from ownership. Legislative routes for communities to acquire land are set out in the Transfer of Crofting Estates (Scotland) Act 1997, the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003, the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015, and the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016. Whilst the 1997 Act is about communities in the Scottish Highlands and Islands acquiring crofting land that happens to be in public sector ownership in a manner that is mutually beneficial, and there are certain similar rights for communities to request assets from a range of public bodies in the 2015 Act, the net effect of the 2003, 2015 and 2016 legislation opens up four methods for a community to acquire land from a private owner, in a manner that (on the assumption the legislation is complied with) either: forces that owner to deal only with the community as and when the owner decides to sell; or forces that owner to sell to the community as and when the community wishes to acquire.1 Section 1. See generally Combe, M. M., The ScotWays Guide to the Law of Access to Land in Scotland, (Edinburgh: John Donald, 2018) (with chapter 2 considering the right of responsible access in particular). Much more could be written about the right of responsible access, but for present purposes please see the analysis in Bob Reid's chapter in this volume. 2 See Parts 8, 2 and 4 of the 2016 Act respectively.

Since the establishment of the Scottish Parliament by the Scotland Act 1998, Scottish legislators have embarked on a programme of community-oriented land reform to allow for redistribution of land to communities. Eligible community bodies have rights of acquisition of varying strengths under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003, and will soon benefit from a further suite of rights as a result of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 and the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016. The community approach that has been introduced to Scotland makes Scots law an interesting comparator for other land law regimes. This chapter explains the background to, the operation of and the future scope of such community rights in Scots property law.
