Land Register of Scotland


The land register is our main register. It records ownership of land and property in Scotland.

Applications can be submitted via our new digital submission service.

About the land register

Introduced in 1981, the land register is based on the Ordnance Survey map.

It provides property owners with a state-backed guarantee of title.

The land register is replacing the General Register of Sasines.
