Scottish Land Matching Service Launches New Website

The unique Scottish service which matches new entrants and developing businesses with well-established farmers and crofters who may be looking to step back has a new dedicated website at: www.slms.scot 

Momentum behind the Scottish Land Matching Service launched last year has continued to grow.  Before lockdown, manager Ian Davidson had been busy meeting with people interested in the opportunities for joint ventures. The new website will ensure it continues to build on that interest.


The website explains how the service operates and will allow people to register their interest, whether seeking or offering an opportunity. It also includes listings of opportunities that are already registered. Regular blogs will also appear to keep people up to date with anything that might have an impact on opportunities.

SLMS manager Ian Davidson said “I am really pleased that we now have the website live. We have aimed to keep it simple to follow and use.

“The site will allow all those with an interest to keep up to date – whether offering or seeking opportunities. 

“If anyone using the site finds something of interest then please contact me for a confidential discussion and more details.” 

Notes to editors

  • The new website for the Scottish Land Matching Service is at www.slms.scot
  • Anyone interested in finding a farm/croft match can contact Ian either on mobile 07741 902648 or email slms@nfus.org.uk 
  • The Scottish Land Matching Service is a consortium approach with support from the following organisations: Scottish Government; NFU Scotland; Scottish Land and Estates; Scottish Land Commission; Scottish Association of Young Farmers Clubs; Scottish Tenant Farmers Association; Royal Scottish Agriculture Benevolent Institution; Farm Advisory Service (SAC / Ricardo); Forestry and Land Scotland.

A dairy farmer’s son, I joined NFU Scotland in 1999 after 13 years as an agricultural journalist. Following spells as a regional manager and policy lead on milk, livestock and animal health and welfare, I became Communications Director in 2008.
