News on Cairngorms 2030

Come along to learn, be inspired and find out how you can get involved and make positive change happen at the Scottish Land Commission’s new series of lunchtime bite-sized events. Land is at the heart of Scotland’s identity, economy and communities and is vital in tackling the climate and nature crises.

The Scottish Land Commission is working to create a Scotland where everybody benefits from the ownership, management and use of the nation’s land. Join the Commission’s Good Practice team for ‘Land @ Lunch’ – a brand-new series of friendly, conversational briefings open to all – where they’ll introduce topical issues at the heart of their work right now as they seek to build a strong and dynamic relationship between Scotland’s land and its people.

Wednesday 19 October at 12 pm – Land @ Lunch: Our Land Rights and Responsibilities Today In the first of the Scottish Land Commission’s ‘Land @ Lunch’ webinar series, hear from Minister for Environment and Land Reform Màiri McAllan MSP, delivering a pre-recorded introduction to the Scottish Government’s new Land Rights and Responsibilities Statement (LRRS). Emma Cooper, the Commission’s Head of Land Rights and Responsibilities, and Gemma Campbell, its Land Rights and Responsibilities Manager, will explore the changes to the LRRS and what they mean for you.

Please note: this event replaces the ‘Land – How to make the most of our rights and responsibilities’ webinar that was originally scheduled for 13, 14 and 19 September, which was postponed due to the period of national mourning.

This free online session is part of the Scottish Land Commission’s support of the Cairngorms National Park Authority’s Heritage Horizons: Cairngorms 2030 programme. Heritage Horizons is a partnership of over 45 organisations and is supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund with thanks to National Lottery players.

Wednesday 2 November at 12 pm – Land @ Lunch: How do you find out about the ownership and use of land? If you are wondering about who owns land in your area and what their plans for it are   ̶ who do you speak to, how do you contact them, and where do you look? Information about land and buildings is the basis for open and transparent decision-making and can enable more people to participate. In the second of the Scottish Land Commission’s ‘Land @ Lunch’ webinar series, Gemma Campbell, the Commission’s Land Rights and Responsibilities Manager, and Policy and Practice Lead James MacKessack-Leitch will cover ways you can find out what's going on with land and buildings in your area.
