Crofting law is complex, requiring reliable, specialist advice at the earliest possible opportunity. There are over 750,000 hectares of land in Scotland subject to crofting tenure. Governed by the Crofters (Scotland) Act 1993 (and subsequently amended by further layers of legislation), the law governing crofting can seem daunting and unwieldy.
