The Scottish Land Commission is working to create a Scotland where everybody benefits from the ownership, management and use of the nation’s land.
What we do
Land is at the heart of Scotland’s identity, economy and communities. The Scottish Land Commission is driving a programme of land reform spanning both urban and rural land, to create a Scotland where land is owned and used in ways that are fair, responsible and productive.
