Knock, Carloway - Formal Intimation
What is happening?
THE COMMON GRAZINGS OF THE TOWNSHIP OF KNOCK (CARLOWAY)
Formal intimation under the Crofters (Scotland) Act 1993 Notice is hereby given that Christeen Fleming and Patricia Macdonald Maclean have applied to the Scottish Land Court for an order authorising resumption of an area of ground extending to 1,382m² of the common grazings of the township of Knock (Carloway). The purpose of resumption is to regularise the position, as the area of ground has been used as a house site and amenity ground for many years.
On 8 May 2026 the Court appointed this intimation by newspaper advertisement and ordered the applicant to send to the Clerk to the Grazings Committee copies of the application, associated productions and the Court's Practice Note No. 4 (which emphasises the need for crofters to protect their own rights). The Court ordered any shareholder or other person having a legal interest who opposes the application or who wishes to claim compensation or a share in value of the land to be resumed, to lodge answers, including details of any such claim, with the Principal Clerk, Parliament House, 11 Parliament Square, Edinburgh, EH1 1RQ within fifteen days from the end of the period covered by Stornoway Gazette. Copies of the application, productions and Practice Note have been sent to Gordon Maciver, 26 Knock, Carloway, Isle of Lewis, HS2 9AU and these documents may be inspected either there, at the Court’s offices in Edinburgh, or at the offices of the agents. Copies of the Practice Note may also be obtained from the Principal Clerk (Tel: 0131 240 6853). It should be noted that any further orders of the Court, including the final order, will be intimated to those persons who have lodged answers to this advertisement and to the Clerk to the Common Grazings Committee. Copies of any further orders may be obtained from the Principal Clerk upon request.
