Quality trails = more healthy, happy walking people. 🚶
So we're shocked to learn that ScotGov’s post-Brexit farm subsidy system will fail to replace lost funding for paths and access. ➡️ www.ramblers.org.uk/post-brexit-...
Scotland will be left with the worst funding for outdoor access in Britain.🤦🏻♀️

Big thanks to ministers, MSPs, MPs, councillors, candidates and members at #SNP25 for filling up our map of favourite walks. From mountain top to coast, woodland and river; from city to country, the map shows just how rich our walking opportunities are!

The cabinet secretary for finance @shonarobison.bsky.social popped by during a busy time at #SNP25. The Scottish Budget deals with over £50 billion of spend. In our manifesto for 2026 we argue that a tiny investment in a Scottish Paths Fund could go a long way. Ramblers.org.uk/scotmanifesto

The landowner in the Glen Lyon access case has told local media: “The hill is open and anyone can take access."
Yet, below is walker and author Iain Cameron's recent photo from the estate.
We hope that the council will use its powers to get this resolved, quick.

Scottish Outdoor Access Code recognises that specific routes may need managed for 🦌 stalking on specific days, but NOT unreasonable blanket bans like this.
Section 14 of Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 gives councils power to remove non-compliant signs.
@perthandkinross.bsky.social must act now.
