Requests must be in writing (which includes email). Send your request to:
Crofting Commission, Great Glen House, Leachkin Road, Inverness, IV3 8NW or by email to compliancehub@crofting.gov.scot with “FOI” in the subject line.
Please include your name, a postal address or email address for our reply, and a phone number if you can.
You can also find our guidance on vexatious or repeated requests , and more information on your rights at the Scottish Information Commissioner’s website.
Fees and timescales
- Will there be a fee? We do not usually charge for requests. However, we may charge a fee if your request places a significant demand on our staff or finances. You can read our Charging Policy for details.
- Timescale: We will respond to your request within 20 working days. If a request is complex, we will contact you to explain the delay and let you know when you can expect a full response.
