Delivering the benefits of a complete land register


The Land Register is our main register and records ownership of land and property in Scotland. The Land Register is map based.

This offers greater certainty to:

  • property owners
  • potential purchasers
  • lenders.

It is also beneficial to government, citizens, and the economy.
