The Crofting Commission this week has announced the appointment of a new assessors panel.
The 23 volunteers who are in post until 2023 will work for the commission and for crofting as a whole.
Commission convener, Rod Mackenzie said: “Each assessor will bring with them a different skill set and their own particular skills can be utilised for the benefit of crofting in all crofting areas.”
He said they will provide a “highly valued link” between the commission and crofting communities.
The assessor’s role is varied and includes passing on information locally relevant to crofting, being able to signpost crofters to the services offered by the commission and to also provide to the commission any relevant information on matters which might arise in their own areas.
