CANDIDATES for the March Crofting Commission elections can now be put forward.
The process of nominating candidates opened last week, with Scotland’s 16,000 crofters able to put forward candidates or stand themselves for election to the board as commissioners.
The commission regulates and promotes the interests of crofting. March’s postal election is to elect commissioners from the six crofting constituencies: East Highlands, Orkney and Caithness, Shetland, South West Highlands, West Highlands and Western Isles.
