Decrofting Directions
Decrofting Directions issued between 1955 and 1976 were issued by the Secretary of State for Scotland.

If you require a copy of a Direction issued during that period, you should contact the Agricultural Development & Crofting Branch at: D Spur, Saughton House, Broomhouse Drive, Edinburgh, EH11 3XD or by telephone at: 0300 244 4000. Decrofting Direction listings online are supplied to allow easy access to copies of data held within the Register of Crofts. While these listings are as accurate as possible, in some instances, records may be incomplete or omitted.
