Want to watch our Board Meeting on 24 August
The Crofting Commission’s Board meetings are always open for members of the public to attend, however as we cannot get together in the usual office environment we are inviting folk to join our meeting via Skype.
You won’t be able to participate in the meeting but you will be able to see and listen to the Commissioners and Commission staff who are present.
In order to listen in you will need to have Skype on your computer/phone and register your interest by dropping us an email to compliancehub@crofting.gov.scot to say you would like to listen into the meeting. The day before the meeting we will send you the link to enable you to login.

Board Meetings
Covid -19
The Commission is now accepting new applications, but as all staff continue to work from home and the office remains closed, these will be processed more slowly than usual. Any applications that relate to statutory deadlines, or which concern a Crofting Register form to notify the Commission that an event has taken place, will be given priority over other applications.
Where applications require a site visit, it will not be possible for any site visit to be carried out until the government eases the current restrictions on movement.Where any application involves a hearing, no hearings will take place until the current restrictions on movement are eased and the government has advised that public meetings (with appropriate physical distancing) can take place.
Approved Applications:
If you are a crofter who has had an application approved by the Commission within the last 3 monthsPlease read this important information regarding effecting Commission regulatory decisions.
You can continue to contact us by email info@crofting.gov.scot and although we are now in a position to deal with phone calls to our reception line, few staff have access to work phones to make return calls and therefore the service will be limited. We would therefore ask that you continue to contact us via email.
The Commission understands that this is a difficult time for all concerned, but we wish to reassure crofters and their agents that we will continue to work to restore normal levels of service. It is unlikely that this can be fully restored until the government permits offices to reopen and for various restrictions on movements and meetings to be eased.
20 May 2020.
