    What action should be taken when animals are alleged to be straying in the area of a crofting township?

    Karen MacRae | 12 May 2025

    Generally speaking, the Grazings Committee is responsible for the management of stock when on the common grazings. If animals cannot be kept on those areas for which the shareholders are paying rent, by normal herding or fencing, then it may be appropriate, in certain circumstances, to return them to the stockowners individual holdings.
