Crofting

Crofting is a form of land tenure.^[1] It also involves small-scale food production, particularly in the Scottish Highlands.^[2] Within the 19th century, townships, and individual crofts were established on the better land. Then a large area of poorer-quality hill ground was shared by all the crofters of the township for feeding their livestock.^[3]
