These pages were created as an interim measure, pending the completion of the Inquiry’s own website and are no longer updated. The Inquiry's own website www.croftinginquiry.org is now up and running, and aims to ensure that all with an interest in the future of crofting are able to keep up to date with, and engage in, the work of the Committee of Inquiry on Crofting.

You can find the final report from the Committee of Inquiry on Crofting in our documents library. You can read more about the report in Warm welcome for radical report on crofting.

Committee of Inquiry on Crofting

Welcome to the Crofting Inquiry pages within the Rural Community Gateway.

During the rest of 2007 the Committee of Inquiry on Crofting will engage proactively with crofting communities and others to identify a vision for the future of crofting and any administrative or legislative changes needed.

The Committee’s full remit is set out here.

The Scottish Executive announced its intention to create a Committee of Inquiry on Crofting in September 2006, Professor Mark Shucksmith was confirmed as its Chairman in December 2006, and its full membership announced on 2nd April 2007.
