The Registers of Scotland RCI register has been designed to provide transparency around who influences & controls decisions made about land & buildings in Scotland.

Accurate information about land ownership means open & transparent decision-making & opportunities for collaboration 🤝

It is great to see our recommendation that community benefits and community engagement be included within this standard be carried forward, it is essential to ensuring fairness in the Nature Markets 🌿

The Scottish Land Commission is recruiting a Communities and Green Finance Project Lead in partnership with the Cairngorms National Park as part of the Cairngorms 2030 programme supported by the The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
