Social Land Ownership
Eight Case Studies from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland
Volume Three ISBN 0 947919 45 7
|

This is the third volume of case studies on social landownership
published by the Not-for-Profit Landowners Project Group. It documents eight more
initiatives by social landowners or aspiring social landowners to develop or manage land
in ways which further democratic, social, environmental and economic objectives. The
Eight Case Studies were written by individuals who have been closely closely involved in
the social ownership or management of land and who are willing to share their experience
with others who own or aspire to own land and manage it. |
Compiled and edited by Graham Boyd and David Reid
Published by Community Learning Scotland for
