(These notes have no legal effect)
1SInsert “ the Scottish Ministers ” or as the case may be the name and address of the local authority.
2SDescribe the land in a way that is sufficient to enable the Keeper to identify it by reference to the Ordnance Map. Where the title to the land has been registered in the Land Register the description should refer to the title number of the land or of the larger subjects of which the land forms part. Otherwise it should normally refer to and identify a deed recorded in a specified division of the Register of Sasines.
3SSpecify by reference to the appropriate Register the deed or deeds in which the real burden or counter-obligation was imposed. Set out the terms of the real burden, or as the case may be the terms of the counter-obligation, in full or refer to the deed in such a way as to identify the real burden or counter-obligation. Provide the statement specified and set out any information which supports it.
4SWhere the title has been registered in the Land Register of Scotland and the superior is—
(a)registered as proprietor, specify the title number;
(b)not so registered, specify the title number and set out the midcouples or links between the person last registered and the superior so as sufficiently to identify them.
Where the title has not been registered in the Land Register and the superior—
(a)has a recorded title, specify by reference to the Register of Sasines the deed constituting the immediate title;
(b)does not have a recorded title, either—
(i)specify by reference to the Register of Sasines the deed constituting the immediate title of the person with the last recorded title and set out the midcouples or links between that person and the superior so as sufficiently to identify them; or
(ii)if there is no such deed, specify the nature of the superior’s title.

“The superior has sent a copy of this notice by [specify whether by recorded delivery or registered post or by ordinary post] on [date of posting] to the owner of the prospective servient tenement at [state address].”; or
