Right to Roam (Scotland)

The Right to Roam legislation in Scotland grants the public legal access to most land and inland water for activities like walking, cycling, and exploring, as long as they do so responsibly. It applies to many areas, including some private lands, provided visitors follow guidelines such as respecting property, wildlife, and land management. The law promotes outdoor recreation and access, ensuring people can enjoy Scotland's natural environment without trespassing, while landowners retain rights for specific purposes like farming or forestry. Overall, it balances public freedom to explore with respect for landowners and the environment.
