27/05/2025
The Crofting Commission today announced that recruitment for two Appointed Commissioner positions on its Board is now open. This is a significant opportunity for individuals to contribute to the strategic direction and governance of crofting in Scotland.
Appointed Commissioners play a vital role in regulating and promoting the interests of crofting, helping to secure its long-term future and enhance the social, economic, and environmental fabric of crofting areas. The role involves contributing to policy development, deciding on complex applications, and providing strategic oversight.
Andrew Thin, Chair of the Crofting Commission, commented: "Serving as a Crofting Commissioner is a deeply rewarding experience, offering the chance to make a real difference to crofting communities across Scotland. We are committed to building a Board that reflects the diversity of those communities and the wider Scottish public. We strongly encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Your skills and insights are invaluable, and we are keen to welcome new voices to help shape the future of this unique and important way of life."
The appointment will be made by Scottish Ministers through the public appointments process, which is based on merit, fairness, openness, and transparency.
