Scottish Rights of Way & Access Society

Established in 1845, ScotWays is the UK's oldest outdoor access group. We work to protect and develop access to the Scottish countryside for all and are home to the Heritage Paths Project.

The Heritage Paths Project aims to identify, research and record Scotland’s old paths and roads. We’ve already discovered hundreds of old ways from Roman Roads to Pilgrim Paths. Find out more here.

Explore our website and find out more about public access to the outdoors in Scotland, how it developed, the Society’s history and what you can do to support us.

Please note, our webshop is currently broken.  You can view, but you can’t buy!

As soon as it is working properly again we will let you know.
