Ministers need to be bolder over Scotland’s land reforms, say campaigners

Despite Scottish government rhetoric, report says not enough being done to move rural land into community ownership

Land reform campaigners have accused Scottish ministers of losing their radical edge" by failing to properly confront Scotland's unequal land ownership system.

A paper from the Jimmy Reid Foundation alleges there is a significant gap between the Scottish government's rhetoric on land reform and the reality, as only a tiny fraction of rural land is in community ownership.
