The Act Making muirburn Section 19—Notice of muirburn activity
98.It is a condition of every muirburn licence that a person intending to make muirburn must comply with this section (see section 15(2)(b)(iii)). This section sets out the detail about to whom, and how, notice is to be given.
99.The persons to whom notice are to be given are:
	the owner of the proposed muirburn site
	an occupier of any land situated within 1 kilometre of the proposed muirburn site (however, there is different provision (see subsection (3)) where there are 10 or more such occupiers and, instead of giving each owner individual notice, the person intending to make muirburn may instead notify those occupiers by placing a notice in a newspaper or by such other method as the Scottish Ministers may specify).
100.Notice has to be given at least 7 days before muirburn is made and contain information such as the proposed muirburn site and approximate extent of the proposed muirburn. Notice under this section may either be given in accordance with section 26 of the IRLA 2010 (which has to do with the service of documents), by leaving it at the address of the person being notified or, where the identity of the occupier is unknown, by affixing a notice (addressed generally to “Any occupiers of the land”) to a conspicuous object such as a gate.
