Welcome to the Central regional page of the Scottish Land & Estates website. Central Region includes the following Local Authorities – Angus, Perth & Kinross, Stirling, West Dunbartonshire, Falkirk, Clackmannanshire and Fife.
Central region is a diverse area and extends from the rich farmlands in Angus and Fife to the upland areas of Highland Perthshire and the Trossachs in the west. The area is known for its agriculture and livestock as well as its forestry and tourism, and our Members are involved in all of these activities and collectively make a significant contribution to the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of the region.
Elizabeth Steuart Fothringham is the Regional Chair of Central Regional Committee. Elizabeth (pictured right) has a background in commercial law and litigation having qualified as a lawyer and practised for a decade in the City and at the Law Commission, working on law reform bills. This experience has given her key insight into how legislation is developed, and the ways in which it can be influenced. She brings this knowledge to the role of Regional Chair together with her experience of running Fothringham Estate.
The key priorities for Central Region are as follows:
- increasing political engagement;
- promoting the positive contribution of the membership;
- creating opportunities for knowledge transfer and sharing of good practice;
- focussing local representation on key stakeholder groups, and
- supporting members to engage effectively with their communities
By reflecting the views and concerns of Central Region members, we ensure that Scottish Land & Estates stays truly representative to its membership and we encourage you to get in touch with Ruth and Elizabeth with any queries or concerns:
