B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Ive been walking the dogs in the evenings on a patch of fenced land opposite some cottages. It's a fair size and perfect to do some training with the pup. There was goats on this land but they have been moved well before I went on with the dogs. Lady came out of one of the Houses and gave me a mouthful and that I wasn't allowed on this land. I apologised and moved off, I did explain that when I started walking the dogs there was rubbish and smashed bottles in the field which I Cleaned up and got the field back to a decent state but she wasn't having none of it. What's the deal with this 'right to roam' law in Scotland? I wasnt doing anything wrong and definitely helped whoever owns the land by clearing it up. Dogs weren't noisy etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticJock 539 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Unless there's a sign specifically stating ''No public access'' or right of way, you have a right to implied access, and so aren't guilty of trespass. I would have asked her who she was, who gave her authority to move people on and to provide proof of all that, just to piss her off I might be wrong about that as scottish law is different but that's what I believe is the case.

PlumDuff 20 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 As far as i know the right to roam act is about land owners opening up tracts/walks through there land for jo public to enjoy ..the right to *roam* isn't a free license for you to go anywhere ..i mean you own your own home and have a nice garden in summer ..how would you like a smelly old tramp like myself sitting in it every evening eating my jar of pickled gherkins and swilling a bottle of buckie 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RossM 8,119 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 But the right to roam act says your dog should be on a lead Think it's keep your dogs under close control, and only under restraint where livestock is concerned, could be wrong, be interesting to have a look at it.

bob.243 8,638 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hope this helps Vee Scotland In Scotland the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 comprehensively codified into Scots law the ancient tradition of the right to universal access to the land in Scotland. The act specifically establishes a right to be on land for recreational, educational and certain other purposes and a right to cross land. The rights exist only if they are exercised responsibly, as specified in the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. Access rights apply to any non-motorised activities, including walking, cycling, horse-riding and wild camping. They also allow access on inland water for canoeing, rowing, sailing and swimming. The rights confirmed in the Scottish legislation are greater than the limited rights of access created in England and Wales by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CRoW).

B.P.R 2,798 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Very helpfully all that there I think I'll continue to exercise the dogs on the land and explain what I know to the lady in question. That is if it's even her land. I don't like conflict but this it great land To take the dogs, lit by streetlights and fenced for training. Thanks again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
