and non-motorised recreational activities like walking, cycling, angling and horse riding, and will normally apply in all rural settings. The basis of access rights over land (in Scotland) is of shared responsibilities, in that those exercising such rights have to act responsibly, following the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, while land owners/managers have a reciprocal responsibility in respecting the interests of those who exercise their rights. The Scottish code "is based on three key principles [which] apply equally to the public and to land managers": Take personal responsibility for your own actions. Respect people's privacy and peace of mind. Help land managers and others to work safely and effectively. Three additional principles apply to visitors: Care for your environment. Keep your dog under proper control. Take extra care if you are organising an event or running a business. Both the Countryside Code and the Scottish code provide guidance for land managers as well as visitors. See also Leave No Trace Tread Lightly!
