The Long Leases (Scotland) Act is based on the recommendations for reform made by the Scottish Law Commission in 2006 (Scot Law Com. 204, ISBN 9780108881930). The Act converts ultra-long leases into ownership, these are leases that were let for over 175 years and for residential leases have over 100 years left to run from the appointed day laid down in the Act - non-residential will be 175 years left from appointed day.
