Outdoor Access Guidance
Enjoy your trips out – and care for Shetland’s wildlife
Shetland Islands Council has produced a leaflet aimed at both residents and visitors, which answers some of the most common questions around the Scottish Outdoor Access Code in Shetland.
The leaflet has links to useful websites and online resources, and gives brief guidance on, for example, how to walk your dog, camp, and enjoy Shetland’s landscape responsibly and without causing upset to the islands’ wildlife, or to local landowners and crofters.
You can view the leaflet here: Outdoor Access Guidance
