This Act provides for the reform of legislation regarding a Scottisch form of land tenure called crofting and for this purpose amends provisions of the Crofting (Scotland) Act 1993. The Act makes modifies the functionality and the name of the Crofters Commission and establishes a new Crofting Register, in which crofts, common grazings and land held runrig (a local system of common tenure and cultivation) are to be registered. The Act defines the category of “owner-occupier crofters” and imposes duties on such crofters and on tenant crofters in relation to residency, misuse and neglect of crofts. The Act also amends provisions in the Crofters (Scotland) Act 1993 on decrofting, resumption, re-letting of vacant crofts, obtaining consent to certain regulatory matters, succession and appeals. Also, a number of other minor and technical amendments to the law on crofting are made.
