Dear The Crown Estate,

When and by what legislation did the Crown Estate acquire the seabed around Shetland?

Yours faithfully,

The Sovereign Nation of Shetland

They replied on 17 January 2025:

Hello

You will need to contact Crown Estate Scotland regarding this as they are a separate entity to The Crown Estate.

You may also want to take advice from this site [1]https://www.foi.scot/how-do-i-ask in order to make this a valid FOI request.

Kind regards,

Jordan

Enquiries |

We took their advice and contacted Crown Estate Scotland (see List). We take this to mean they do not hold the information, but trying to pass us off to another organisation does not absolve them.
