Community Ownership in Scotland 2022
Annual publication showing the extent of community ownership in Scotland.
This document is part of a collection
Assets by Size, 2022
Assets one hectare or less in size: 66%
Figure 6: Four assets comprise 52% of the land area in community ownership
The number of community owned assets recorded in Scotland as of 31 December 2022 by area (hectares)
The figure is available in the Figures supporting document.
More than half of the area of land in community ownership is comprised of four assets, each greater than 20,000 hectares.
By contrast 66% of assets have an area of one hectare or less, with a combined area of less than 0.05% of the total area. This reflects that most of the land area in community ownership has been acquired in the form of whole estates.
The assets with the area recorded as zero or not available are recorded on the paper based General Register of Sasines, where area figures are not readily available, and it has not been possible to find the area from another source.
