Following on from the paper ‘Land Reform for the Common Good’, we have met the Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs, Land Reform and Islands, to press the case for an integrated approach to land reform in the forthcoming legislation.
We recognise that there are vested interests which will press the government to be less radical than they should be. We have therefore drafted an open letter that sets out the key issues we would wish to see addressed in that legislation.
If you agree with this letter and wish to add your name or that of your organisation, please email: contact@reidfoundation.scot. Thank you.
