Enjoy Scotland's Outdoors leaflet
How to enjoy your access rights and follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code
In Scotland we have some of the best access rights in the world. This leaflet explains how you can enjoy the outdoors responsibly.
Our access rights come with certain obligations, such as respecting others and the environment. The Scottish Outdoor Access Code provides detailed guidance on enjoying the outdoors responsibly, whether you are close to home, on farmland or out in the hills and moorland.
Whether you enjoy walking your dog, paddling, mountain biking or horseriding, this leaflet summarises the advice in the Access Code and tells you where to find more information.
Please note: the digital PDF versions of these leaflets are accessible, while the print-ready files have been optimised for professional printing and do not include the underlying text and formatting required for assistive technologies.
