Crofts & Small Farms

Quick links:

The Scottish Government values crofting as a form of land tenure and recognises the added contribution that crofting continues to make to the rural economy and the sustainability of rural and remote rural communities. To assist crofters and farmers of small agricultural units, the  Crofter and Small Farm Service has two elements: advice through a Subscription and events and materials tailored to the needs of crofters and smallholders.
