Maps

Some of our applications require a map. To ensure your application can be processed, all maps must meet these basic requirements:

• Ordnance Survey map: The map must be on an Ordnance Survey MasterMap and show enough detail of the surrounding area.
• Clear and readable: The map should be at a good scale, so all details are clear.
• Clearly labelled: All areas and boundaries must be clearly described and labelled.
• Vehicle access: Show all vehicle access points on the map.
• Dimensions:
  • State the size of the proposed area in hectares, using up to three decimal places.
  • Provide the dimensions of each boundary in metres, with one decimal place.
• Coordinates: Include the map coordinates (Eastings & Northings or a six-figure national grid) for the middle of the site.
• Essential features: The map must include a scale bar and a North arrow.

Important note: If your croft is already on the Registers of Scotland crofting register, the map you provide must exactly match the one on the register.

You can find example maps for different application types below that meet our requirements.
