Crofting Commission

The Crofting Commission is a regulatory body in Scotland responsible for overseeing crofting, which is a form of small-scale farming unique to the Highlands and Islands. Its main role is to protect the rights of crofters—smallholders who work land under specific legal frameworks. The Commission manages crofting land use, supports economic development in rural areas, and promotes sustainable practices. It also ensures that crofters have access to resources and can voice their concerns, thus helping to preserve the cultural heritage and community spirit of Scotland's crofting regions.
