This report was commissioned by the Scottish Executive and undertaken by Environment Resource Management (ERM) consultants. It presents the results of a study into the nature of the demand for information about the ownership of rural land holdings in Scotland and how best to meet such demand. The need for this research has arisen in response to the findings of the Land Reform Policy Group (LRPG) following a series of public consultations.

Information about land ownership and in particular the need to ensure greater transparency on landownership and to make it easier for the public to find out who owns particular areas of land underpinned the need for this research.
