Following the COVID-19 (coronavirus) advice from the Scottish and UK Governments, the Scottish Land Commission has closed its office. All staff are now working from home and business will continue as normal as much as possible.
No travel or face to face meetings will be taking place. However, we have a range of tools available to staff for conference calls, online meetings and webinars.
If you need to get in contact with anyone from the Commission please use the normal contact details for that person or call 01463 423 300 or email info@landcommission.gov.scot
We are closely monitoring the situation and following government advice and guidance. We will keep you updated with any further changes to the way we work.
Hamish Trench
Chief Executive
