	DRAFT LAND REFORM (SCOTLAND) BILL: Consultation Paper : page 8
		Land management professionals suggested that account needed to be taken of issues such as severance, disturbance and reductions in the value of the remainder of a holding.
		The body which is entitled to exercise the crofting community right to buy must comply with similar requirements regarding structure and organisation as apply to a body entitled to exercise the community right to buy and must be representative of the crofting community (section 78).
		Crofting community bodies may be required to include other land in the area to be purchased if the landowner asks for this to be done and Ministers determine that it would be in the public interest to do so (section 86).

		Crofting, as the term is used within the Counties of Argyll, Inverness, Ross and Cromarty, Sutherland, Caithness, Orkney and Shetland (the crofting counties) is entirely " a creature of statute ".
		These were probably attempts by the landlords to develop fisheries and the term croft again was adapted for use in that it met the criteria of a definite area arable in nature, and with exact boundaries and no rights in common to any other land.
		Crofting thus arose out of the necessity of an advancing society to specialise and is essentially analogous or comparable to the way in which the owners of mines, factories and other enterprises found it necessary or expedient to build houses for their workforce.

	Croft (land) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A croft is a fenced or enclosed area of land, usually small and arable with a crofter's dwelling thereon.
		The word croft is West Germanic in etymology, and is now most familiar in Scotland, where many Highlands and Islands crofters have had their tenure protected by special legislation since 1886.
		Crofts held subject to the provisions of the Crofters' Acts are in the administrative counties of Shetland, Orkney, Caithness, Sutherland, Ross-shire, Inverness-shire and Argyll, in the north of Scotland.

	Landägande/land ownership, English. The allotment system
		Ownership of land is quite complex and not easy to explain and the meaning of Ownership has changed over the centuries.
		During the 16th century a croft was a small farm/cottage built on the village common.
		At the end of the 19th century many crofts were replaced with ordinary tenancies, that is tenancies paid with cash instead of payment with manpower.

	what is a croft?
		The Crofters Commission have a duty to ensure that all croft land is being used in accordance with the Acts.
		Decrofting agricultural land is much more difficult, as the applicant requires to show that there is no demand for croft land in the area.
		As it has not been possible to create new croft land in recent decades, the shrinking of the available "pool" of croft land from past decroftings means land is now almost never possible to decroft.

	Anderson Strathern - Crofting and Smallholdings
		Crofting is a traditional farming method preserved today in the seven crofting counties of Inverness, Argyll, Caithness, Sutherland, Ross and Cromarty, Orkney and Shetland.
		Similar regimes outwith the crofting counties are not crofts, but may be smallholdings or agricultural tenancies, to which different rules apply.
		Landlords are not always able to recover their legal expenses from the crofter but can preserve their interest in the sporting rights over the croft land and participate in its development value, if sold within five years.

	James CROFT of Croft Castle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Elizabeth never forgot, and throughout her reign Croft could rely on her friendship, which was as well, for long before his death he had lost the support of almost every other influential person in the realm.
		Croft was appointed to the Norfolk election committee on 9 Nov 1586, and at some time in this Parliament he made an unpopular (and unreported) speech on Mary Queen of Scots.
		Croft quite openly supported a pro-Spanish policy, and was known to be in receipt of a pension from Felipe II of Spain, whom he admitted being ready to serve in everything ‘he honestly could’.

	Community Housing Trusts
		As such, crofting land use is based on the little-understood principle of “usufruct” – the divided use of land (as distinct from outright absolute ownership).
		In theory, this allows a crofting community, typically via its Common Grazings Committee, to have a say in the matter of to whom crofts are re-allocated and whether persistently absentee or feckless crofters should have their tenancies taken off them and reassigned.
		To summarise, croft land is owned by a landlord – typically a large estate owner, part of whose domain comprises the inbye township and common grazings designated by statute as being under crofting tenure.

	Croft Circuit - Croft History
		Racing at Croft can be traced back as far as the 1920s, when cars were in their infancy.
		As part of a compulsory land order by the government and because of Croft's unique vantage point in terms of air travel (follow the Tees, then turn left) 160 acres of farm land was commissioned as a relief landing ground for nearby Middleton St George.
		And so in September 1942 Croft's association with the Maple leaf commenced and was to remain until the end of the war.

	Land
		Limited land distribution within rural communities ensured that self-sufficiency was not achievable by crofters and that there was a continuing dependence on the estate for support.
		This structured approach to land management and planning was adopted in the Western Isles around 1800 and would ultimately determine the shape, size and location of crofts and croft housing that largely remains with us today.
		The principle crofting areas are in the Western Isles (6,000 crofts), Shetland 2,700), Skye and the Inner Hebrides (1,800) and the north-west Highlands (2,300).

	The Crofting Way
		The Crofting Way by Katharine Stewart, author of Croft in the Hills, Garden in the Hills and The Post in the Hills collects together the best of the On the Croft and Country Diary columns she wrote for the Scotsman over many years.
		From day to day she captures the actuality of life on the croft: the blizzards and thaws, the pair of sparrows nesting in the eaves of the byre, the first lambs born in the season, the turnip-singling, the neighbours working together at harvest-time and Charlie the horse carting the stooks.
		The issue of sustainable and ecologically-friendly land use in the Highlands is one of the thorniest issues the new Scottish Parliament has to grapple with, and The Crofting Way is an important contribution to this debate.

	Caithness CWS - A Z - Sutherland - Sutherland Biodiversity Action Plan 2003 - Croft And Farm Land
		Actively managed agricultural land, where a mosaic of crops are grown and mixture of sheep and cattle are grazed, is generally considered to be good for biodiversity by providing a variety of habitats.
		Sheep have largely replaced cattle in crofting areas, and in-bye croft land is often neglected or overgrazed.
		Overgrazing of inbye croft land by sheep is also reducing the biodiversity value of the grassland.

	Rancher, NRCS Protect East Idaho Archaeological Site (May 10, 2006) \| NRCS This Week \| NRCS
		Situated in rolling hills of privately owned range grass about 20 miles west of Idaho Falls, are caves on rancher Steve Croft’s land containing one of the most complete records of the people occupying the region over 10,000 years ago.
		Croft wanted to construct a fence around the caves and he also wanted to have better control over his grazing management by installing additional fencing on adjacent pasturelands.
		Croft’s plan was approved and cost-share provided for the construction of a jack-fence around the caves and more barbwire fencing in his pastures.
