The right of access extends to wild camping, provided that it is undertaken in small numbers, well away from any building or road, for one or two nights in any one place and where there is no practicable alternative available. It is expected that you only do this in unenclosed land. You should take reasonable steps, in advance and locally, to find out where it is best to camp in order to avoid disturbing land management operations and particularly during the stalking and grouse shooting seasons. You must not use an open fire, take away all refuse and be very careful about pollution. You should consider identifying potential bothies and informal or formal camping sites, and consider working with local groups and others interested in the management of these places.
