(This note is not part of the Scheme)
The Crofting Counties Agricultural Grants (Scotland) Scheme 1988 provides that the Secretary of State may make grants to Crofters and certain other occupiers of land in the crofting counties for certain specified purposes.
This Scheme excludes heathland and moorland from the type of land which can be improved with grant assistance (article 2). The Scheme however contains a saving in respect of crofters who have had part of the common grazings apportioned to them by the Crofters Commission between 1st January 1990 and the date of coming into force of this Scheme who may continue to apply for grant assistance in respect of such land until 31st March 1993 (article 3).
