The Scottish landscape is justly famed for its beauty and diversity, and
Scots law provides good opportunities for people to enjoy access to this
land.
This book aims to provide a user-friendly guide to the law of access in
Scotland. It explains how the law works to regulate access to Scotland's
outdoors, who might be entitled to access land or inland waters, and the
activities people are entitled to do there. An understanding of the
multilayered framework of the law is crucial to clarify the rights and
responsibilities of users and landowners/occupiers, and to minimise and
resolve conflict.
This book will be of particular value to access professionals and
advisers but is also suitable for general readers who are broadly
interested in the subject or are seeking an answer to a specific point.
The Scottish Rights of Way and Access Society ('ScotWays') is a
charitable body dedicated to providing information and assistance about
responsible access to land. It commends this book to all who cherish our
country.
