A Practical Guide to Crofting Law has been written by crofting law expert Brian Inkster.

The book is an introduction to crofting law for those with an interest in it or who may touch upon it in their work.

The book covers the main issues briefly and concisely, aiming to highlight the complexity of crofting law and the pitfalls and traps that await the uninitiated. The aim is that readers will, as a result, be better versed in the basics of crofting law.

Welcoming the publication of the book Patrick Krause, chief executive of the Scottish Crofting Federation, said: “This is a book that has been awaited since crofting law was formed, a book that lays out what the, notoriously difficult to navigate, ‘sea of legislation’ is about.”

Sir Crispin Agnew of Lochnaw Bt QC, chairman of the Crofting Law Group, said: “Brian’s new book is an invaluable practical guide to demystify crofting law.”
