A working land: crofting communities, place and the politics of the possible in post‐Land Reform Scotland<sup>1</sup>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the context of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 , this paper examines the political possibilities that are created when land is removed as a commodity from circuits of global capital and when, in areas under crofting tenure, it comes under collective ownership. Drawing evidence from the case of the North Harris Trust, Isle of Harris, the largest community purchase of land thus far, the paper considers how place is re‐configured in complex and contingent ways through the re‐working of the materiality and meanings of the land and of nature. The latter includes disturbing class‐based and colonizing discourses of ‘wilderness’, on the one hand and, on the other, exploring the ways through which the wind is commodified. The paper argues that this re‐constitution of land and nature does not lead in a simplistic way to a reversal of processes of enclosure (and globalization) but rather, through the co‐performance of land and nature in the new political spaces created by a community trust, the relationship between the ‘local’ and the ‘global’ is altered such that a more sustainable and socially just future may be imagined.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
