Outdoor Access Rights

Lodged by Edward Mountain Members' Business Motion 23 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament acknowledges what it sees as the success of the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, which was developed in 2004 following the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003; believes that the guiding principles of the Code, which include respecting the interest of others, caring for the environment and people taking responsibility for their own actions, have served the Highlands and Islands and Scotland well; understands however that general misunderstandings about the Code have arisen since its establishment, and notes calls on the Scottish Government to launch a full review in order to update the Code to ensure that Scotland continues to have what it considers are world-leading outdoor access rights.
