The policy and institutional context

No over-arching

rural vision or

strategy in

Scotland; rural is

mainstreamed

ULØ, Alm.del - 2017-18 - Bilag 110: Studietur til Skotland: PP-præsentationer

Key principles for future rural policy

•

A more

positive

narrative

networked

approach

Need for an accurate, up-to-date

evidence

base

integrated

approach

Rethinking the value of

rural proofing

Taking a

place-based

approach to policy

Strengthening rural

communities

Recognising the

diversity and breadth

of activities in

rural Scotland

•

Placing

rural at the forefront

of opportunities and

challenges

•

Acknowledging and strengthening rural-town-urban

linkages

Rural Scotland: 7.5M Ha

–

Private:

83%

(963 owners own 60% of this)

–

Public: 914,000Ha

(12%)

–

NGOs: 208,000Ha

(2.6%)

–

Community owners:

170,000Ha (2.2%)

ULØ, Alm.del - 2017-18 - Bilag 110: Studietur til Skotland: PP-præsentationer

Scottish Land Reform

• “Concentrated

pattern of land ownership”

ever

present in land reform rhetoric over last 25 years

• “Diversity

of Ownership”

consistent in policy since

Sewel’s Land Reform Policy Group (1997):

•

“Land reform has the potential to empower

greater

numbers of people

and, over time, to change patterns of

ownership in Scotland to ensure a

greater diversity of

ownership,

greater diversity of investment and greater

sustainable development”.

(Land Reform Bill Policy Memorandum

)

•

Two Land Reform Acts (2003) and (2016)

• Community based land reform (‘Right to Buy’)

ULØ, Alm.del - 2017-18 - Bilag 110: Studietur til Skotland: PP-præsentationer

Impact - Diversifying Ownership

•

Opportunities linked to

NGOs & some private estates &

alternative models

(Partnerships/collective ownership)

•

But…community

landownership demonstrating

developmental & environmental outcomes and a re-shaping

community-environment relationships
