The Crofting Counties Agricultural Grants Scheme (CCAGS) provides assistance towards improving and sustaining the viability of croft business. In doing this it also helps achieve other benefits such as improved animal health and welfare.
The principle objective of CCAGS is to sustain the economic basis and way of life and so help retain population in crofting areas. Support is available to eligible applicants for land improvement, agricultural buildings, access and facilities for keeping livestock. In doing so CCAGS contributes to maintaining and preserving an agricultural base in severely disadvantaged areas and encourages investment in the economic potential of the land.
Potential non-croft applicants should note that important changes to CCAGS, which include new eligibility criteria, came into force on 1 April 2011.
