Harper Macleod LLP

Our crofting, rural, and community land experts have advised the Coigach Community Development Company on an acquisition which will see the protection of nearly 8,000 acres of croft land and common grazings in the north west Highlands. Partner Calum MacLeod, one of only two crofting law specialists to be accredited by the Law Society of Scotland and a crofter himself, said: “The protection of croft land is valuable to local economies such as Coigach. It is a part of a trend being repeated across Scotland’s rural communities. It represents what can be achieved when communities come together to determine their futures by addressing local challenges, reversing depopulation and developing local services and amenities.” https://hubs.la/Q02W9m090 Robert Milsom Colleen Kitley #Community #Rural #ScottishHighlands #Preservation COIGACH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
