Since 1 January 2002, the Scottish Executive has paid a net total of £1,201,679.26 to 488 claimants covered by the Lairg Area Office under the Less Favoured Area Support Scheme. The following table breaks this figure down by Land and Payment type and gives details of the land area (in hectares) covered by those payments. (Note: because the Maximum Scheme Payment Limit (CAP) operates on the gross value of individual claims, it is not possible to show net payment values by land type.)Land Type or Payment Category | Land Classification | HIE Area | Payments | Hectares
