Abstract:
|
"Scotland has been the setting for a major initiative in what has been described by Bryden and Geisler (2007) as 'community-based land reform' which entails the replacement of private property with community ownership of rural land. New legislation has been passed to give communities a right to acquire land assets. Although there have been significant numbers of community-based acquisitions of land in Scotland in the last decade, many of these predate the specific measures introduced in the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003. Based on recent work undertaken for the Scottish Government, this paper explores the underlying rationale for community-based land reform, scopes the impacts to date with respect to the (non-crofting specific) community right to buy and reviews the likely future impacts of community-based land reform on rural Scotland."
