About the funding

Funding is allocated from net revenue generated by the Scottish Crown Estate from marine assets out to 12 nautical miles. In 2020 to 2021 this was £11 million.

Payments to councils for 2022 to 2023 have been allocated from the 2020 to 2021 net revenue. This is because payments are made in arrears once the Scottish Crown Estate’s annual accounts have been finalised.

The amount each council receives is based on a distribution method agreed with COSLA.

This is the fourth round of payments to councils under this arrangement. Councils are responsible for ensuring projects deliver value for money.

We will publish a report detailing how councils have spent their allocations by summer 2023
