Section 33 Register of small holdings.C1

It shall be the duty of the Board to compile and from time to time to revise a register of small holdings (whether held by landholders or statutory small tenants or not) throughout Scotland, in such form and containing such particulars as may be approved by the Secretary for Scotland.

For the purposes of this section, the expression “small holding” means any holding within the meaning of the Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act, 1908, which either does not exceed F1twenty hectares, or, if exceeding twenty hectares, is of an annual value as entered in the valuation roll not exceeding fifty pounds.

Where a landlord and a tenant agree or the Land Court decide that the tenant is a landholder or a statutory small tenant, as the case may be, within the meaning of this Act, it shall be the duty of such landlord and tenant and of the Land Court to communicate such agreement or decision to the Board for the purposes of the small holdings register: Provided that a person shall not be held a landholder or a statutory small tenant by reason only that he is entered as such as the small holdings register.
