The relevant legislation governing allotments is the Allotments (Scotland) Acts 1892, 1922 and 1950. Sections 23-27 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1959 and sections 73 and 74 of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 are also relevant.The Local Government Committee is currently holding an inquiry into the provision and management of allotments and we will consider its findings once these are completed.
