New Guide Showcases Collaborative Land Management In Scotland

Construction News Image
The Scottish Land Commission (SLC) has launched a new online guide showcasing successful examples of collaborative land management across Scotland, aimed at inspiring communities, landowners, and policymakers.

The 'Governance Guide' features stories demonstrating how effective decision-making and collaboration can improve land management for the benefit of all. It aims to demystify governance and encourage action through diverse examples, rather than promoting a singular solution.

Featured examples include:

• Lister Housing Co-operative Ltd: Scotland’s oldest housing co-operative, providing affordable housing in Edinburgh through tenant-led management.

• Doune Ponds: A partnership between Moray Estates and the Doune Community Woodland Group, transforming the site into a thriving community resource.

The guide illustrates how diverse stakeholders can work together effectively, emphasising the importance of governance structures that enable sustained collaboration

James MacKessack-Leitch, Policy and Practice Lead at the Scottish Land Commission, said, "The Governance Guide brings together inspiring and often untold stories from across Scotland and beyond that show how land can deliver for people and prosperity in innovative ways."

He added that the guide is a "call to action" and a "dynamic resource" that will be continuously updated with new examples.

The "Governance Guide" is available on the Scottish Land Commission website.
