Scottish Crown Estate revenue allocations
Funding allocations from the Scottish Crown Estate to councils to support local projects.
Net revenues generated from Scottish Crown Estate marine assets out to 12 nautical miles are allocated to coastal councils to support community benefit projects in their areas.
Funding is allocated based on net revenue generated by the Scottish Crown Estate from marine assets out to 12 nautical miles.
Payments are made in arrears, once Crown Estate Scotland’s annual accounts have been finalised.
The amount each council receives is based on a distribution method agreed by the Settlement and Distribution Group, comprising Local government, CoSLA and Scottish Government. The formula takes into account the total sea area in the 0-12 nautical mile zone adjacent to each council and the revenues raised from marine assets within 0-12 nautical miles in each council area.
Councils are responsible for ensuring projects deliver value for money.
