Scottish Land Court Act 1911

The Scottish Land Court Act 1911 (1 & 2 Geo. 5 c. 49) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that established the Scottish Land Court to address disputes relating to agricultural tenancies and crofting in Scotland. The Act was a pivotal element of early 20th-century land reform in Scotland, particularly for the Highlands and Islands.

 Background 
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, land issues in Scotland, especially in the Highlands and Islands, caused significant social and economic unrest. Crofters and tenant farmers faced challenges due to high rents, insecure tenancies, and limited access to land. The Act was introduced to provide a legal framework for addressing these issues and to balance the rights of landlords and tenants.
