📣 We're excited to launch ScotLand Futures – a national conversation about the future of Scotland’s land.
In this short video, Chair of the Commission, Michael Russell, explains what the initiative is all about, why it matters, and how you can get involved.
Whether you live in the city, countryside or coast, land affects all of us – from housing and jobs to climate and community. This is your chance to share your views on how land is owned, used and managed for generations to come.
🎥 Watch the video to find out more – and join the conversation at buff.ly/Q7dnd3S.
