At Scottish Land & Estates, our aim is to help rural Scotland thrive.
We understand the challenges people who live and work in rural areas, and we have been focussed on how to tackle them.
That is why we have produced our Policy Prospectus, which highlights the pressing needs and priorities of the people, businesses and landscapes that underpin Scotland’s rural communities.
To build a better future for those who live and work in rural Scotland, we know that policy must be designed with rural communities in mind.
‘Rural Reset’ sets out clear, actionable steps for the government to make rural issues a priority—strengthening our communities, protecting our landscapes, and accelerating sustainable growth. A rural reset for Scotland starts here.
