I've published a Community Right to Buy application database, due to ongoing interest. Of particular importance is it's value to communities trying to use the rights, as well as researchers, and the Scottish Government Community Right to Buy review.

Glad to hear the data set is not just focused on England. I was noting the speakers seem to be England focused. What’s your approach to facilitating the discussion to include perspectives from the devolved administrations of the UK?

Event next Wednesday (8 Oct) on food systems in rural Scotland, you can join online or in person in Parliament.

Includes #Knoydart farms speaker on their food growing projects 👍🏼

Interesting event— although from speakers it looks like Who Owns England would be more accurate?

I’m in Knoydart this week doing fieldwork. A gentleman dropped off his personal buyout archive for us to have a look at— an ideal evening of drinking tea and reading land reform archives 👌 😂

New title, new slides… enjoyed sharing my research on Community Right to Buy at the #UKIPRC2025. Good feedback, I think this paper’s almost ready to go out into the world

Meanwhile, in Scotland...

Scottish Land Fund closed to applications yesterday, no new money for new purchases until after the election in May— probably a year atleast 😬

In the 1930s, J.A. Dempster and Hugh Smith designed over 50 pithead baths for Scotland and northern England for the Miners' Welfare Fund. Influenced by German pithead baths, they were strikingly modern in appearance. All were demolished between the 1960s and 1980s.

7 years ago today I officially got my PhD— with 2 PhD babies (who are now big!) #QueensUniversityBelfast

Slide titled “War on feudalism, 1912”

Finishing up an excellent conference on Scottish Law: Land, Environment, power. Some great presentations— very helpful to dig into history and legal philosophy, and lots of planning chat as well. Also a first airing of my CRtB paper!

Navigating complexity: Community Projects and Planning (Workshop session) YouTube video by Community Land Scotland

An inspiring few days at @communityland conference.

There are live streamed sessions, including the one I facilitated on community landownership and town planning. www.youtube.com/live/TESeWWW...

WE WON!

The Supreme Court has upheld the right to wild camp on Dartmoor. This is a huge win for access to nature.

But we're just getting started.

It was never just about Dartmoor.

We’re fighting to extend the right to roam, swim, and sleep under the stars - across all of England.

Change of scenery this week! Not quite the N Highlands.

Looking forward to this event on British Land Commons tomorrow, great line up of speakers @tomchance.bsky.social

Still time to join if you’re in London www.kairos.london/event/revivi...

What do you think @jeinsle.bsky.social can I fit in some more travel? 😜

I am enjoying another few days fieldwork— thought provoking, enjoyable and exhausting in equal measures

🧵 Our democracy is in poor health.

Trust in political parties and government has hit a new low.

But we think there's a different way forward 👇

I am going into spring with medical treatment largely behind me 🤞 - and with a growing mohawk.

I'm looking forward to some exciting work projects, and I'll share more on that soon.

B4 that, I'm doing 10K on 18 May to fundraise for Cancer Research. Please contribute!
