Following Scotland's Land Reform Act 2003, camping on most unenclosed land is permitted. This is just one of the aspects that gives Scotland some of the most progressive access legislation in Europe. Wild camping is just the perfect way to get to know undiscovered parts of Scotland and it is encouraged too.
Scotland is recognised the world over for its diverse range of walking experiences. No matter if it be a stroll in the countryside, a jaunt along the coastline, or something more challenging, Scotland is the perfect place to do it. With its 284 Munro peaks, hill and mountain walking in Scotland continues to be a great hobby for many. But having the right kit and latest GPS technology is vital.
