Abstract

This report presents the findings of research commissioned by the Scottish Land Commission to review the effectiveness of community ownership mechanisms and options for simplifying or improving these mechanisms to enable and support the expansion of community ownership in Scotland. This included reviewing processes relating to negotiated sales or transfers of land and/or assets to communities, as well as legislative mechanisms including the Community Right to Buy (CRtB), Crofting Community Right to Buy, the Transfer of Crofting Estates (Scotland) Act 1997 and Asset Transfer measures under the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015.

  Notes:	The research team would like to thank all of the individuals that gave their time in providing their views and information throughout the course of the project. In particular we would like to thank the scoping interviewees from across a wide range of organisations, who willingly engaged with the project and provided in-depth advice relating to the different pathways to ownership. The willingness of professional intermediaries and non-community landowners to participate was also greatly appreciated as it allowed for a more rounded analysis of key issues and potential solutions. Finally, we would like to offer a special note of thanks to all of the community groups who gave up their time (often in a volunteer capacity), both through interviews and attending the community workshops, to share their experiences and insights, including those used as case studies throughout this report. The research team have developed a much improved understanding of the challenges faced by communities attempting to acquire land or assets and the potential opportunities for future change largely due to the input from all of these research participants.
