Results and Impact | Research briefing to Scottish Government The research was communicated to members of the Scottish Government Land Use Strategy team (and others) in a two-hour briefing session. This was held at the Scottish Government buildings in Victoria Quay, Edinburgh, on 27th October 2011. Member of the research team were invited to discuss the findings and implications of the whole 'Sustainable Estates' project, as well as discuss the short booklet and workshops associated with the Knowledge Exchange Award. This was a very productive meeting, which was well-attended by a range of government staff from different teams. Staff specialisms included: deer management, land use policy and planning, wildlife crime, rural development, rural communities, forest management and rural economic development.

Results and Impact | The majority of the section on Community Engagement in the submission by Scottish Land and Estates to the Land Reform Review Group (LRRG) was based on the outcomes of this project. The resulting booklet was specifically referenced. The book based on the resrach on which the ESRC KE project built was also extensively referenced n the fibnal report of the LRRG. Direct impact is not possible to prove. However, the researchers involved in the KE project continue to work with Scottish Land and Estates on guidance to their members (owners/managers of estates) on community engagement, and much of the language of the Landowners' Charter (2014) is very similar to that in the booklet deriving from the project (see separate policy output). |

Results and Impact | Presentation to Scottish Land and Estates Housing and Communities Policy Group One of the project team members is an invited member of the Scottish Land and Estates Housing and Communities Policy Group. The research was presented to this group in November 2011. Members of the research team jointly presented the findings of the research associated with the Knowledge Exchange Grant and invited members of the group to submit their feedback on the 'draft booklet'. There was a high level of interest from the HCPG group, and it is expected that the researchers will be invited to talk to the group again soon.
