Market in crofts needs regulated @andrew_thin @CroftingScot - 4 acre croft with house just sold locally for o/o £430,000.
Particulars don't make *any* mention of crofting duties. IMO this should be mandatory.
But do suggest there's 'scope for further development'.

Not sure if there has been too much in the way of press about this, but I see that the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016 Part 5 buyout scheme put forward by North Queensferry Community Trust has received healthy backing in a local ballot. canva.com/design/DAFgLDj9BOE…

Don't know what we would have done without the emergency service response to a fire in one of our much loved local businesses last week. Give SFRS Argyll & Bute, E &W Dumbartonshire a follow.

Our board visits #Argyll next week. We've supported 53 Argyll & the Islands community projects over the last two financial years (£2.86m). Funding is helping develop business units, new housing, tourism infrastructure, renewable energy & local food growing facilities #FridayFact
Absolutely spot on @CalumMacleod07 🙌 "...demands an approach that enables island communities to be front and centre in the sustainable stewardship of natural resources, rather than passive recipients of top down designations" – at Scotland, United Kingdom

Disappointed in the Green's complete lack of understanding about coastal and island communities but even more disappointed by their seeming determination not to listen or learn. I had hoped you were better than this @patrickharvie.

Our main concerns relate to the lack of ecosystems based management plans (a legal requirement under the fisheries Act) and the complete absence of proposals, policy or framework to address the resulting displacement or to facilitate a just transition.
