Everything about Land Reform Scotland Act 2003 totally explained
The
Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 is an
Act of the
Scottish Parliament. It created a framework for responsible access to land and inland water, formalising the tradition in
Scotland of unhindered access to open countryside, provided that care was taken not to cause damage or interfere with activities including farming and game stalking. Similar legislation was passed for
England and
Wales with the
Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000.
The Act follows the distinctive approach set out in the
Outdoor Access Code, specifying the rights and responsibilities of land managers, countryside users and recreational managers. It also introduced rights for rural and
crofting communities to buy land in their area, and ended the historic legacy of
feudal law in
Scots law.
Criticism
A number of national governments (including the
United Kingdom) have expressed concern within their
Biodiversity Action Plans regarding the potential damage that can occur from unlimited access rights to many
habitats. An example applicable to Scotland is the
Portlethen Moss in
Aberdeenshire.
