Assets one hectare or less in size: 65%

More than half of the land in community ownership is comprised of four assets, each greater than 20,000 hectares.

By contrast 65% of assets have an area of one hectare or less, with a combined area of less than 0.05% of the total area. This reflects that most of the land area in community ownership has been acquired in the form of whole estates.

The assets with the area recorded as zero or not available are recorded on the paper based General Register of Sasines, where area figures are not readily available, and it has not been possible to find the area from another source.
