Audience
This Guide is intended for use by a wide spectrum of people involved in the development and management of access provision. This will include access and countryside professionals, rangers, planners, surveyors, site managers, land owners, developers, volunteers and community groups.
The Guide has been prepared against the background of the Scottish legal system and is targeted primarily at those concerned with the management of public access to Scotland's countryside. Scottish Natural Heritage recognises, however, that it may also be of interest to those concerned with access and public rights of way in other parts of the United Kingdom and welcomes its use by this wider audience.
