Social Land Ownership

Eight Case Studies from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland

Volume Three ISBN 0 947919 45 7

This is the third volume of case studies on social landownership published by the Not-for-Profit Landowners Project Group. It documents eight more initiatives by social landowners or aspiring social landowners to develop or manage land in ways which further democratic, social, environmental and economic objectives.

The Eight Case Studies were written by individuals who have been closely closely involved in the social ownership or management of land and who are willing to share their experience with others who own or aspire to own land and manage it.

Compiled and edited by Graham Boyd and David Reid
