Exceptionally high demand and low supply means prices have risen sharply, a new report says.
The Scottish Land Commission said exceptionally high demand and low supply meant prices had risen sharply.And more corporate money - often from overseas - was looking for environmental investments.
Green laird is a term that has been used to describe a business buying thousands of acres of land to plant with trees to help it achieve net zero - a balance between the carbon emitted into the atmosphere, and the carbon removed from it. There are several reasons for doing deals without transparency, in addition to subversion of that legal intent; it works for brokers to shift assets on their books to known investors on their books: some farmers don't want their neighbours to know they are "selling out" for forestry, which carries social disapproval in some farming circles.
That's why a company such as Brewdog and its "punk" equity investors own a Highland estate, and new investment vehicles are joining it. This could have profound implications for rural Scotland. A rapid shift in the market that could bring major changes in the way Scotland looks, and in the type of jobs to be found in rural Scotland.
