The Crown Estate Scotland
The Crown Estate Scotland is a public organization managing lands and properties in Scotland that belong to the Crown, such as rural estates, urban properties, and seabed rights. It generates income from these assets, which is used to fund public services. The organization operates independently, making commercial decisions to maximize returns while ensuring sustainable management. It was established in 2017 when Scotland gained control over these assets from the UK Crown Estate, allowing for more tailored management that reflects Scotland's priorities and interests.
