Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) is considering selling or transferring some of the land it currently manages on behalf of the nation. 

A report presented to the SNH board identified areas of land which could be more efficiently managed by others and recommended considering the ownership options for around 5,000 hectares of land.  The review also identifies some areas of land which could be suitable for crofting, including the currently advertised crofts on Rum.  The SNH press release specifically mentions community groups as potential owners who may be better placed to own and manage some nature reserves.  You can read the full text of the report to the Board and see the list of sites under consideration here.
