Under our constitution, the objects of Smallholding Scotland SCIO are:

  • to advance the education of the general public in relation to smallholding and its public benefit.
  • to advance the education of existing and prospective smallholders
Like most other charities in Scotland, Smallholding Scotland is experiencing some challenging times.
While we will continue to advocate for smallholders and smallholding to the Scottish Government and other bodies where our limited resources allow,  we have suspended  most of our other activities, including social media and our website.
The main focus of our work will continue to be the staging of the Scottish Smallholder Festival in October at The Highland Hall, Royal Highland Centre. With a remit to “educate, inform, inspire”,  the Festival is the premier event for smallholders, crofters and those interested in more sustainable living.
The AGM authorised the trustees to reinstate the annual membership fee, and accordingly we put in place a package that includes two tickets to the festival and entry to a members area at the event that will allow you to enjoy free teas and coffee. You can find the package priced at £20 on the website www.festival.scot
