Summary of Land Reform (Scotland)Act in terms of Core Path Planning
The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 provides statutory outdoor access rights and responsibilities for everyone, including specific obligations for land managers and local authorities. The Act gives the public a clear right of responsible non-motorised access to most land and inland water in Scotland for walking, cycling, horse-riding, undertaking water based activities such as canoeing and other recreational pursuits. This right applies equally to public open space in towns, rivers and lochs and the more remote areas of the countryside.
