Around Scotland, communities are taking ownership of land, buildings and other assets to create lasting change.

Community ownership puts local people in control of the future of their place. It gives communities the opportunity to identify what matters most to them and take action to make it happen. Across Scotland, communities have used ownership to create jobs, develop housing, improve local services, protect important places and create new opportunities for local people.

Every community ownership story is different, but the goal is often the same: creating long-term benefits and a brighter future for local people.

Community Land Scotland supports communities throughout their ownership journey. Whether you are exploring an idea, working towards a buyout or managing land and assets you already own, we can provide guidance, resources and connections to help you take the next step.

You can get in touch with us at any point in your community ownership journey.
