Scottish Land Fund

The Scottish Land Fund supports community land ownership in rural and urban Scotland.

What is it?

The Scottish Land Fund is a programme which supports community organisations across Scotland to own land, buildings and other assets.

Delivered in partnership between HIE and the National Lottery Community Fund, we have a team of advisers to help you develop your project.

The Fund will support projects that involve land and property ownership, that are community-led, community controlled and will deliver socio-economic impacts.

Voluntary or community organisations and public sector organisations across Scotland are eligible to apply for funding from £5,000 to £1m.

Who's it for? 

The Scottish Land Fund is open to organisations in both urban and rural Scotland which are community-led, community-controlled and defined by a geographic area.  Applicants must be non-profit distributing.

What does it cost? 

There is no cost to apply.

How do I apply? 

You can contact the National Lottery Community Fund Scotland to discuss your idea by emailing advicescotland@tnlcommunityfund.org.uk or call them on 0300 123 7110.

If your project is eligible you will be assigned a Scottish Land Fund Adviser from Highlands and Islands Enterprise, who will help you develop your idea and get ready to submit your application.
