"It's a simpler way of giving crofting communities the right to buy land. But the heavens aren't going to fall in."

Are we to assume that these "communities" lacked the "right to buy land" before? Or did they perhaps simply lack the means.....?

From what I am told by relatives there..when you buy property you are buying what is on top of the land...not the land itself...that remains part of the estate of the Lord who owns it...in essence you are buying to rent. All Land belongs to the royalty who have had in their possession for generations...
