Next Steps – Crofting Common Grazings

Unlocking Common Grazing Potential

Common Grazings Context

Across Caithness and Sutherland there are around 120,000 ha of crofting land held as common grazing, within these there are relatively large areas of peatland, including sites of degraded peatland needing restored.

Stock grazing (usually sheep) levels are typically low in the Flow Country and peatland restoration aligns well with this current land use.
