A Scottish Government spokesman said: "While we welcome any increase in investment by the Crown Estate, this falls well short of what we could achieve with full devolution of Crown Estate assets in Scotland.
"Our progressive plans, backed by the Scottish Parliament, would see revenues from the Crown Estate invested directly back into local communities.
"Scotland is blessed with fantastic offshore-energy potential. It is completely contrary to the spirit of self-government to have Scotland's seabed and almost half the foreshore controlled by an unelected body, with no requirement to consider the will of local communities or consult the Scottish Government."
The value of Crown Estate property in Scotland increased by 13 per cent over the year to £207 million."
