A croft is an enclosed area of land, a farm, which is maintained by a family living on the premises. Crofts are most commonly found in the Highland areas of Scotland. In 1993, the CROFTERS ACT was created to delegate crofts and can be found at: http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts1993/Ukpga_19930044_en_1.
