"We are committed to doing all we can to ensure this transfer takes place smoothly and efficiently" announced The Crown Estate in a press release.

The Crown Estate have put in place a distinct Scottish operating division with its own business plan, management information and financial reporting.

The current Head of Ocean Energy , Ronnie Quinn, will lead the new business division whilst retaining current responsibilities.

Alan Laidlaw also continues in his role as Portfolio Manager, Rural and Coastal.

The Scotland operating division is an interim arrangement and will continue up to the point at which the Crown Estate's management functions in Scotland formally transfer to the Scottish Government.

The Crown Estate's decision on the content of the legislation required to devolve their functions in Scotland are a matter for the UK and Scottish governments and parliaments.

"We will work to inform the process to ensure a swift and smooth transfer of the management of our assets in Scotland. We have a clear commitment to protect the interests of our staff, tenants, customers and the communities with whom we work throughout the process" said The Crown Estate in the press release.
