{{Main|Scottish Outdoor Access Code}}
In Scotland the [[Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003]] comprehensively codified into [[Scots law]] the ancient tradition of the right to universal access to the land in Scotland. The act specifically establishes a right to be on land for recreational, educational and certain other purposes and a right to cross land. The rights exist only if they are exercised responsibly, to which the [[Scottish Outdoor Access Code]] provides guidance on.

Access rights apply to any non-motorised activities, including walking, cycling, horse-riding and wild camping. They also allow access on inland water for canoeing, rowing, sailing and swimming.
The rights confirmed in the Scottish legislation are greater than the limited rights of access created in England and Wales by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CRoW).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-countryside/cl/bill/factsheet/index.htm#1 |title=Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000: Fact Sheets |date=2000-03-07 |publisher=Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060813102505/http://www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-countryside/cl/bill/factsheet/index.htm#1 |archive-date=2006-08-13 |access-date=2006-12-09}}</ref>
