Large-scale Rural Land Sales 2023 - Land Matters

Today I am publishing a report analysing large-scale (over 500 ha) sales of rural land in 2023. This follows a previous report covering 2020 – 2022. During 2023, 17 landholdings of over 500 ha changed hands together with 20 landholdings of less than 500 ha where the new owner already (or as a consequence) owns over 500 ha. The extent of land covered by these transfers is 55,406 ha – higher than in any of the previous three years. Just over half …Read Article

Craiganour Estate has got away with a criminal offence - Land Matters

In my blog yesterday, I reported a breach of rules introduced to improve transparency in landownership. I have reported the matter to Police and will be reporting back here on progress. Meanwhile, I am pleased to publish this guest blog by Alan Brown which documents his own odyssey in trying to enforce the regulations. Guest Blog by Alan Brown In the summer of 2016 I was sitting outside a bothy on a grassy knoll in the heart of the long-deserted…Scotland, United Kingdom · Scotland Read Article

Who Owns North Glenbuchat Estate? - Land Matters

The above image was taken in 2014 in connection with a police raid at that time. On 2 May 2025, Police Scotland issued the following statement. Two men have been arrested and charged in connection with wildlife offences following enquiries into the death of red kites in the Strathdon area of Aberdeenshire in February, 2025.

ECHR and the Discriminatory Impacts of Late Registration - Land Matters

In the section at the end of my previous blog, I highlighted how the Land Reform (Scotland) Bill (the Bill) does not simply extend existing opportunities for community bodies to make late registration applications under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 but creates a new and separate process for determining such applications. The blog outlined the two routes that would be available if the Bill passes as drafted. To make sense of what follows, …Scotland, United Kingdom · Scotland Read Article

Clan Donald and the Land Reform (Scotland) Bill - Land Matters

The Stage One debate on the Land Reform (Scotland) Bill took place on Wednesday 26 March. The Bill passed by 91 votes to 29. You can read a transcript of the debate here. I will examine some of the claims made in the debate in a later blog as well as some thoughts on human rights implications of the Bill and why the provisions about prior notification may fall foul of human rights law and thus be open to legal challenge. Meantime, in this blog, …Scotland, United Kingdom · Scotland Read Article

Who Owns Scotlands 2024 - Land Matters

Today I have published what I plan to be an annual analysis of who owns Scotland. The Who Owns Scotland 2024 report is based on an analysis of data from the Who Owns Scotland website as at 31 January 2025. You can download a copy of the report here. The analysis confirms preliminary findings published in March 2024 that the ownership of privately-owned rural land is becoming concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. This is primarily due to existin…Scotland, United Kingdom · Scotland Read Article

Land Speculation at Camster Burn in Caithness - Land Matters

Scottish Land and Estates has argued in recent years that large-scale landholdings are best placed to deliver public policy objectives associated with woodland expansion, peatland restoration and other large scale projects. Scale can help of course but it is nonsense to suggest that it is a necessary precondition. What if the few people who own large areas of Scotland have no wish to deliver these public policy objectives? Scale then becomes a b…Scotland, United Kingdom · Scotland Read Article
