Before you begin the Asset Transfer Request process, we suggest you read the Scottish Government's guidance and regulations, on which our Community Asset Transfer Scheme is based. You may also wish to read their summary guide introduction to what asset transfers are and whether they can help your community group:

• Scottish Government: Asset transfer summary guide
• Scottish Government: Asset transfer guidance and resources

Read our guidance

Our full guidance is currently being revised. If you have any questions or would like any further information, please contact the Community Asset Transfer Manager at the contact details at the bottom of this page.

Find out information about the land

We have created a map-based Register of Land where you can find information about all the land and buildings we manage. The map is quite large so please allow time for it load.

If you have any further questions about the land, you can also contact the Community Asset Transfer Manager at the contact details at the bottom of this page.
