Help Guests Enjoy Scotland Responsibly: New Outdoor Access Guide from VisitScotland

As we welcome visitors for the busy summer season, it’s more important than ever to promote responsible access to Scotland’s natural landscapes.

VisitScotland has launched a new Scottish Outdoor Access Code Guide designed to help visitors understand how to enjoy Scotland’s outdoors safely and respectfully. The guide features 10 practical tips based on the Scottish Outdoor Access Code and is ideal for sharing with guests ahead of their stay.

The resource is also useful for international visitors, as it’s available in five languages: Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.

Whether your guests are walking, pet owners, cycling, driving, or camping, this guide provides clear, accessible advice on how to care for Scotland’s countryside, wildlife, and communities.

We encourage all self-catering hosts to:

  • Share the guide with guests before and during their stay
  • Post the link on your social media channels or website

Let’s work together to ensure every visitor enjoys Scotland responsibly, while preserving the places we love.
