Case studies of island repopulation initiatives
- 2020
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Scottish Government made several policy commitments to stem rural depopulation and attract more people to live and work in rural and island communities. This report presents Scottish and international examples of successful policy interventions to support repopulation of island and remote rural communities, which could be piloted in similar communities in Scotland. The report considers examples from six countries, including Scotland.

Investigation into the issues associated with large scale and concentrated landownership in Scotland
- 2019
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Concern about who owns Scotland, and how much of it they own, has been central to the land reform debate for decades. While many people are convinced that landownership is a key determinant of rural development outcomes, others insist it is irrelevant, and what is important is how land is managed. The Scottish Government wants to create a more diverse pattern of land ownership and asked the Scottish Land Commission to investigate the issues associated with large scale and concentrated land ownership. In early 2018 the Commission did this by inviting people with experience of living and working in such areas to share their experiences. This report analyses the results of this investigation.

Large-scale land acquisition for carbon : opportunities and risks. A SEFARI Special Advisory Group Final Report
- 2022
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Interest in carbon markets has increased rapidly in recent months, leading to new market opportunities and interest in acquiring land to invest in natural capital, typically through tree planting and restoration of degraded peatland habitats. However, the extent to which natural capital investment is driving transactions is unclear, with owners and purchasers potentially influenced by many factors. There is also uncertainty around how large-scale land acquisitions might interact with post-Brexit policies under development across the UK and the interests of rural communities. In response to this, we conducted an evidence review and convened more than 60 experts from policy, investment, third sector, research, land management and rural communities to identify and critically assess options for policy and practice to pre-empt and address trade-offs and challenges.

The impact of diversity of ownership scale on social, economic and environmental outcomes : Exploration and case studies CR/2014/19
- 2016
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This research report was commissioned by the Scottish Government to offer some insights into the local impacts of differing scales of rural land ownership in Scotland on social, economic and environmental outcomes.The study considered three case study pairs of parishes, each comprising a parish dominated by one or more large land owners and a nearby comparator parish that had historically been dominated by one or more large land owners but is no longer, due to ownership fragmentation at some point.The findings were intended to inform both the on-going development of Scotland's land reform policy and deliberations over the Land Reform (Scotland) Bill at the time of publication.
