It was a real pleasure to visit #CardowanCommunityMeadow’s community event this weekend— mixing their history, successes and ongoing campaigns. A few years ago I worked closely with the team on their purchase of the residual title for Cardowan Estate.

🤔 Just having a read of #CommunityEmpowerment #ParticipationRequests-- they were designed to support involvement in public service reform (see screenshot from p3 of the SG guidance). I wonder if any communities will be using these in the upcoming Scottish public service reforms?...

Anyone else still tired from the CLAN conference? So good to share work on community landownership and be part of such an inspiring research community. Delighted that my Community Right to Buy research won the best poster award at the first CLAN Gathering— prize was a book from Jim Hunter 📚

New SG report published! Very interesting themes: place-based policy, community empowerment governance, funding decision making. For other community governance nerds, I recommend the comparative tables, particularly the 11.3 which compares CLLD to the SAFER model for land market regulation. :-)

I’m in Knoydart this week doing fieldwork. A gentleman dropped off his personal buyout archive for us to have a look at— an ideal evening of drinking tea and reading land reform archives 👌 😂

New title, new slides… enjoyed sharing my research on Community Right to Buy at the #UKIPRC2025. Good feedback, I think this paper’s almost ready to go out into the world

Finishing up an excellent conference on Scottish Law: Land, Environment, power. Some great presentations— very helpful to dig into history and legal philosophy, and lots of planning chat as well. Also a first airing of my CRtB paper!
Slide titled “War on feudalism, 1912”

Anyone want to play guess that peak? I am enjoying another few days fieldwork— thought provoking, enjoyable and exhausting in equal measures

Brilliant couple of days starting off fieldwork in Lewis 👌. There’s nothing getting to know a place and the people..

Personal update- I'm finishing treatment for cancer. The NHS has been amazing and I'm feeling pretty good. Cancer takes many things. I've had to back out of some great career opps. I love my work; this is so frustrating. I will be back to full speed soon! Photo of me getting my last chemo 💪.

Ooof, my heart hurts this morning. Global and historical processes of land clearance for the wealthy to recreate continue…

Have a read of the Bluesky set up⤵️ for awhile now I’ve been thinking internet infrastructure should be non-profit, and ideally for the public good. I did pitch a community owned Scottish land information system at one point… bsky.social/about/faq
