The first in our 'Natural Capital and Land' series will look at our recently published report on what is happening in Scotland's rural land market. Chaired by Scottish Land Commissioner, Sally Reynolds, the panel includes one of the authors of the report, Steven Thomson from SRUC, who will be joined by Faye Gonzalez, Savills; Prof Deb Roberts, James Hutton Institute; and land reform campaigner Andy Wightman. The panel will explore what is happening in Scotland's rural land market, why and the implications for not only who owns Scotland's land but who is able to make decisions and who benefits from the land. The hour-long session will include a Q&A for your chance to put your questions to the panel and take part in discussions.
