A croft is basically a small,enclosed and cultivable agricultural land which is also used as the crofter's dwelling sometimes.

Explanation:

The word "croft" originated mainly in West Germany and is commonly witnessed or seen in the countrysides of Scotland.Usually,the crofters have legislative rights of cultivation on crofts and are also the tenants of the designated croft or the agricultural land.The concept of croft cultivation basically originated due to the grievances of the tenant agricultural farmers who lost their lands and faced  immense economic loss due to clearance of highlands in the Scottish countryside during the late 19th century.
