The Proposed Land Ownership and Public Interest (Scotland) Bill was introduced to Parliament by Mercedes Villalba MSP on 6 June 2023. If passed, the private members bill would introduce a presumed limit of 500 hectares on individual sales or transfers of land and on the aggregate amount of land any person can own, and make land transfers over the 500-hectare limit subject to a public interest test.
