Each estate has different characteristics, but they all have a range of common management requirements associated with a mix of asset types and different tenancy arrangements relating to agricultural land, residential property, other commercial activity, sporting and fishing interests.

The role of agent will also involve regular liaison with Crown Estate Scotland staff including staff focussed on strategic level engagement, partnership working and project development.
