About this research
The Rural Land Market Insights Report series is built on a qualitative evidence base drawing on interviews with land agents and valuers as well as industry reports. Alongside the Rural Land Market Data Report series – which analyses land transactions data from Registers of Scotland - this work has enabled the Scottish Land Commission to develop a robust methodology for the ongoing monitoring of Scotland’s rural land market, creating a strong baseline for future work. This baseline is essential for examining the effects of land reform policy interventions to date and will be invaluable in evaluating the impact of future policies, specifically the implementation of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2025.
