ScotWays' 175th Anniversary
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates ScotWays on its 175th anniversary; welcomes its tireless work to uphold public rights of access over this period; notes that the organisation was founded as the Association for the Protection of Public Rights of Roadway in Scotland; understands that it is the oldest outdoor recreation body in the UK; acknowledges that the first signposts erected by the Association were in the Cairngorms in 1885, which led to conflict and the famous House of Lords case concerning Jock’s Road in Glen Doll; welcomes the long history of legal action by the Association to defend public rights of way, and wishes the organisation well in its anniversary year and for the future.
