A prospective purchaser should note that this croft land is regulated by the Crofting Commission. This means that
the successful purchaser/assignee is agreeing to abide by certain duties with regard to the croft land. These
duties are:
• A duty to be ordinarily resident on, or within 32km (20 miles) of your croft.
• A duty to cultivate and maintain your croft or put it to another purposeful use.
• A duty not to misuse or neglect your croft.
In addition, there is a legal requirement to return an Annual Notice to the Crofting Commission each year,
confirming whether or not you adhere to these duties. Failure to return this notice is a criminal offence, and if as
a result of this, any failure to meet the duties is discovered, you could lose the croft or the right to use it. Further
information on being a crofter can be found at
