Outdoor Access

People in Scotland now enjoy statutory rights of access to most land and inland water since the introduction of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003.

These rights must be exercised responsibly by respecting the privacy, safety and livelihood of others as well as caring for the environment.
