• • Follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code
  • Avoid overcrowding by moving on to another location if it's already a busy spot.
  • Wherever possible, use a stove rather than an open fire. Never light an open fire during dry periods or in sensitive places like forests or peaty ground.
  • Take away your rubbish and consider picking up other litter as well.
    If in doubt, ask the landowner. Their advice just might help you find a better camping spot.
