Why is my “crofter” status on the ROC online shown as “Owner”?

The Commission considers you to be an “Owner” as:

  • You own croft land;
  • You do not have a crofting tenant, and
  • You do not meet one or more of the three conditions to qualify for “Owner-occupier crofter” as either:
    • You do not own the whole of the croft; or
    • You were not the tenant crofter of the croft at the time you acquired it; or
    • The croft had been let to a person as a crofter since it was acquired.
