The Crofting Commission (Scottish Gaelic: Coimisean na Croitearachd) took the place of the Crofters Commission (Scottish Gaelic: Coimisean nan Croitearan) on 1 April 2012 as the statutory regulator for crofting in Scotland.
Based in Inverness, it is an executive non-departmental public body of the Scottish Government.
The vision of the Commission is to be a guiding regulator that uses its powers to support the crofting system.
Its purpose is to regulate the crofting system fairly and reasonably to protect it for future generations.
Where a suspected breach has occurred, members of crofting community; Grazings Committees/Constables and Assessors can report crofters who they consider are not complying with their duties to the Commission.
