Crofting (Amendment) (Scotland) Act 2013 (2013 asp 10).

This Act amends principally the Crofters (Scotland) Act 1993 and consequentially the Crofting Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 in respect of applications to decroft by owner-occupier crofters and the subsequent handling of such application by the Crofters Commission. The Act also provides with respect to appeals against decisions of the Commission. An owner-occupier crofter may apply to the Commission for a decrofting direction, i.e. a direction that the owner-occupier’s croft is to cease to be a croft. Where a decrofting direction is given in relation to a croft, the 1993 Act ceases to apply to the croft.
