Section 12(8) of the Crofting Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 provides that in most cases the applicant for first registration of a croft, common grazing or land held runrig in the Crofting Register must, on receipt of the certificate of registration, give public notice of the registration by—

• placing an advertisement, for two consecutive weeks, in a local newspaper circulating in the area where the croft, common grazing or land held runrig is situated, and

• affixing a conspicuous notice in the prescribed form to a part of the croft, common grazing or land held runrig.

This Order prescribes that form of notice.

A business and regulatory impact assessment has not been produced as no impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
