Maps

Some of our applications require a map. To ensure your application can be processed, all maps must meet these basic requirements:

  • Ordnance Survey map: The map must be on an Ordnance Survey MasterMap and show enough detail of the surrounding area.
  • Clear and readable: The map should be at a good scale, so all details are clear.
  • Clearly labelled: All areas and boundaries must be clearly described and labelled.
  • Vehicle access: Show all vehicle access points on the map.
  • Dimensions:
    • State the size of the proposed area in hectares, using up to three decimal places.
    • Provide the dimensions of each boundary in metres, with one decimal place.
  • Coordinates: Include the map coordinates (Eastings & Northings or a six-figure national grid) for the middle of the site.
  • Essential features: The map must include a scale bar and a North arrow.

Important note: If your croft is already on the Registers of Scotland crofting register, the map you provide must exactly match the one on the register.
