Community Land Scotland

Who We Are

We are the national representative body for community landowners — a growing movement of people taking control of land, buildings and assets to shape their own futures.

We bring together over 140 member organisations from across Scotland, from community-owned estates in the Highlands and Islands to urban community hubs, reflecting the diversity and strength of community ownership in practice.

Together, we work to ensure community ownership plays a central role in creating a fairer, more sustainable Scotland.
