Where to go
A great deal of Scotland is easy to reach and open for you to discover. Parks, greenspace, woods and local paths are never far away, whether you live in the city centre or a village. As well as the more popular and accessible places, Scotland has plenty of remote and wild areas where you can really get away from it all.
You can go wherever access rights apply or there is provision for public use. Wherever you go, remember to take some simple steps to take care of the environment and respect the needs of other people, whether working on the land or enjoying the outdoors.
