Description

Join us as we mark two decades of Scotland's pioneering access rights and responsibilities, with Brendan Paddy, Director of Ramblers Scotland.

Brendan explains the basics of the Scottish Outdoor Access Code and shares how these rights have transformed our connection with nature, boosting personal wellbeing and local economies alike. We highlight the unique approach Scotland has taken and discuss the vital role of public education in safeguarding these freedoms for future generations.

We delve into the crucial challenge of making Scotland's outdoors truly accessible to all. Hear about innovative projects breaking down barriers for global majority communities, refugees, and asylum seekers, and learn how digital engagement is inspiring the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts.

As we look ahead, we stress the importance of targeted messaging and collaborative working to ensure continued enjoyment of Scotland’s stunning landscapes for everyone.
