Core Path Planning
How to Get Involved
|
The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003, the Act that gave us rights and responsibilities to access land across Scotland, also requires all the access authorities (local authorities and National Park authorities) top identify a core path network in their area. Core Path Plans are being developed in consultation with local communities, user groups, land managers and other stakeholders. Most authorities have produced an initial draft and are looking for comments by all interested parties. MCofS is lodging consultation responses in areas that will particularly affect mountaineering interests, but we would encourage you to consider the ones where you live, or of your favourite recreation area. The core paths network will be signposted and are designed to provide for the basic needs of local people and visitors for recreation, non-motorised movement between communities and key links to the wider path network. The core paths system is likely to be made up of a mixture of existing paths and some new paths. It will provide opportunities for walking, cycling, horse riding, kayaking and other activities for all ages and abilities. Click on the council name to link to local information:
