Yes, yes, but what is a crofter?[edit]

This article could do with a high-level introduction (in the lead paragraph) stating exactly what/who/when/where a "crofter" is. —Sladen (talk) 12:12, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Work to do[edit]

The page as it stands fails to mention that a completely new Commission was set up by the Crofters (Scotland) Acts of 1955 and 1961 and talks as though events in 1976 fell to the 1886 body. The new Crofting Commission, which is not a statutory commission but an executive body of the Scottish Government, has usurped the Crofters Commission Wiki pages.

A substantial rewrite is needed of this page and perhaps a new page on the 1955 Commission. Sebmelmoth (talk) 11:54, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
