Scottish Outdoor Access Code

In Scotland, people have the right to access most land for outdoor recreation, provided they act responsibly.

This is called Scottish access rights and differs from the laws in England and Wales. While enjoying outdoor activities, you must comply with the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.

Important Notice

Remember, March to May is lambing time.

Ewes and lambs are very vulnerable at first. Mums can easily lose their babies if scared or disturbed by people or dogs. Lost lambs can die very quickly.

- Walk trails which do not go through fields of livestock at this time of the year.

- Take your litter home, or put it in a bin.

- Clear up your dog’s mess.

- Please follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code at all times.
