Who is the network for?
The Scottish Community Land Network is for anyone interested in the development of community-based land activities.
What does the network do?
All the activities of the network are channelled through this website – we have developed a range of interactive features to help people get the most out of the network. The aim is to make this network active in supporting groups and individuals by providing up to date news, opportunities to discuss ideas and ask questions as well as keeping track of who does what in the world of community land initiatives.
You will find the most recent articles on the front page, and we retain everything on the site - just browse through the categories on the left-hand 'Topics' menu, or you can use the search function. Each month we distribute an email 'digest' of all the activity, including news and forum discussions, to everyone who has registered.
How do I get involved?
The network is FREE to join – you just need a valid email address. Once you are registered, you can give us your opinion on any of the articles, create or reply to discussions on the forum and contact other members of the network.
If you would like to contribute articles to the site, please send us a message after you have registered and we will set things up - or you can submit articles by email.
Who looks after the network?
Walking-the-Talk is a small environmental consultancy based in Tarves, Aberdeenshire and we write and collate the articles and generally look after the website. Our work is funded through the Community Land Unit of Highlands and Islands Enterprise.
Want to put a link from your site to SCotLaNd?

Just what is a USB cup warmer then and why are we offering them as prizes? Well, we thought they were quirky and fun, but useful. And even better, you can use them whilst surfing the delights of SCLN.
And what are they? Cup warmers that you plug into your USB socket on your computer (simple really). Then you put your mug of hot whatever onto the heated pad and it stays warm, rather than you getting distracted and coming back to a lukewarm cuppa.
If you'd like the chance to win one, make sure you fill in your details on your profile page so we can add you to the draw! We'll announce winners in the new year...
PLEASE NOTE: partially completed profiles don't count and won't be entered into the draw. We are trying to make this network a useful directory of contacts for people within the network - remember people have to be registered before they can see any of your details, and your personal information is not available. We won't use the information for any other purpose than keeping you informed about the Scottish Community Land Network and we won't share your details with anyone (unless we are obliged to do so by law).
