An Introduction to Agricultural Tenancies in Scotland

Introduction

The law of agricultural tenancies in Scotland is strictly governed by statute however, an agricultural tenancy can be created inadvertently or has the potential to morph from one type of tenancy to another. This can have serious consequences for those who want to ensure their ability to have flexibility in the use of their land.

The purpose of this webinar is to outline the different types of agricultural tenancy in Scotland, how it is possible for a tenancy to start its life as one form of agricultural tenancy and how circumstances could result in the tenancy morphing into another.

This webinar is suitable for those working in the rural property sector, or the commercial property sector (in particular renewables), or litigators who do not have specialist knowledge of agricultural tenancies.
