How to Use this Page. #
These are not guidebooks about which path to follow or what hills to climb, these are books that cover the management and development of outdoor access.
Publications are grouped by subject area and then by decade.
Each entry follows the same layout and is organised thus:
Author, (Year of publication), Title, Publisher, followed by a paragraph about the book. This may be the advertising paragraph from the book cover or a short review.
Where possible a weblink is included, but some of the publications are not available online so you will need to use your favourite bookseller to get a copy. Some are no longer in print so you may need to go to a real bricks and mortar library to find a copy.
Professor William M Gordon and Scott Wortley, (2011) Scottish Land Law, W. Green #
The third edition of Scottish Land Law is a thoroughly updated and comprehensive account of Scots law relating to rights in and over land. Available from Sweet and Maxwell.
Malcolm Combe, (2018) The ScotWays Guide to the Law of Access to Land in Scotland, ScotWays #
This book aims to provide a user-friendly guide to the law of access in Scotland. It explains how the law works to regulate access to Scotland’s outdoors, who might be entitled to access land or inland waters, and the activities people are entitled to do there. An understanding of the multi-layered framework of the law is crucial to clarify the rights and responsibilities of users and landowners/occupiers, and to minimise and resolve conflict.
