New land rights chief
The Scottish Land Commission (SLC) has appointed Emma Cooper as a new head of land rights and responsibilities.
Her job is ensuring more people benefit from Scotland’s land using the Scottish Government’s Land Rights and Responsibilities Statement.
The SLC has also begun publishing a series of land rights and responsibilities protocols, to set out what should be expected as normal practice, in cases of community engagement and transparency of ownership, for example.
