Crofting

Scottish Crofting Foundation

Welcome to the Scottish Crofting Foundation
Rooted in Our Community
Calves in Sleat, Isle of Skye

The SCF is a charitable company and the only non-government organisation representing crofting. We:

* work to develop, promote and encourage crofting.
* represent and safeguard the interests of crofters, their families and communities, their cultural heritage and their legislative rights.
* promote the environmental, social and cultural benefits of crofting activity and land use as intrinsic aspects of rural development.
* raise awareness of crofting through information and education.
* promote diversity of people, enterprise, skills and expertise.

Scotland, the land of horrible, boat-divulging loch monsters and breath-taking mountains. But did you know that you can own or rent a croft and be totally self-sustainable, close to nature, working for a purpose and having the best time of you life? Well, almost... it depends on what you have in mind when thinking about the "best time of your life". If you can see yourself raising, breeding and slaughtering pigs, grabbing your daily eggs from under your hen then this might be an intersting link for you.
