"The @ScottishLandCom proposals have the potential to be an important step towards a more transparent and objective policy debate in the interests of all."

I wrote this wee essay for @mairead_nc in spring last year, now up on my website. Reflecting on aesthetic encounters with birds + folksongs. Beautiful illustrative print thanks to @Jenny_Sturgeon #birds #music #folksong #ethnology #ecology #blackbird 🐦 https://t.co/7OdK5kAC3K

There is something magical about standing on a piece of community-owned land. This is the site where we are going to build affordable homes to help secure our future. You can be a part of this life-changing project by donating here: https://t.co/PgcY8FFuoI

Community ownership in action on the Isle of Kerrera!

[Annie McKee @anniejmckee]

Delighted to have provided a #keynote presentation for the #RuralHousingSummit on the experience of #landreform in #Scotland, including a summary of the legislative changes and impact with a global audience in mind.

[Andrew Thin @andrew_thin]

Let's pause and reflect. The power to rewild is no different from any other power that land owners enjoy. It must be exercised with care and consideration for the interests of others, especially local communities. With land rights go responsibilities.

[AHRC Landscape Decisions & Community Empowerment @LandDecisions]

Great work Adam.

[Andrew Thin @andrew_thin]

It reflects the changes that we think need to take place...
