The Scottish land question is perennial. There may have been times when land law reform has faded from the foreground of public consciousness in Scotland, but now is not such a time. Current topicality can be evidenced by the publication of Scottish Government,
The LRRG was constituted as an independent review group in 2012. It initially comprised three members and a number of advisers who were provided with a three- pronged remit to explore how land reform would:
Enable more people in rural and urban Scotland to have a stake in the ownership, governance, management and use of land, which will lead to a greater diversity of land ownership, and ownership types, in Scotland;
Assist with the acquisition and management of land (and also land assets) by communities, to make stronger, more resilient, and independent communities which have an even greater stake in their development; and
Generate, support, promote and deliver new relationships between land, people, economy and environment in Scotland.
