Introduction In Session 1 of the Scottish Parliament there were a number of significant Acts passed relating to land reform including the Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc. (Scotland) Act 2000, the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 and the Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act 2003. Session 2 of Parliament saw a number of these Statutes coming into force but no further land reform legislation. Session 3 provides the opportunity to both review the effectiveness of this first tranche of legislation and to begin the process of taking the land reform agenda forward by initiating a series of further measures, six of which are outlined in this paper, namely;

• Common Good Act • Community right to buy - review & extension • Crown Estate reform

Each of the areas builds on existing work and thus much of the groundwork has already been done. Each of these proposals seeks to extend the opportunities for ownership and control of land to many more people across Scotland. See Link below for more detailed information
