Census

Grazings committees must report on their common grazings every five years. The report must cover:

• the condition of the common grazings
• the condition of every croft that shares in the grazings
• any other issues affecting the common grazings or crofting in the area

How to complete the census

To make this process easier, we have created a simple census form to help committees meet their reporting duties.

The last section of the form allows you to report specific concerns to us, such as misuse or neglect of crofts in the township. Addressing these issues is important for ensuring croft land continues to be worked for future generations.

You can find a copy of the form and a list of frequently asked questions below.

Please complete the form and email it to grazings@crofting.gov.scot or send it by post. If you have any questions, you can also contact us at the same email address.
