Welcome
Welcome to the new forum for Scottish long distance paths, including those under construction and development. We are concerned about the A9 and the safety issues the National Cycle Route north of Tain being removed by SUSTRANS due to accessibility issues. We addressed this with The Highland Council (Jan 2024) and now we have diverted it.
In March 2025, we asked Tesco drivers to keep an eye on things for us and report to us if they saw anything untoward.

The rules are the same as for the Caminos web forum.
Note the North Highland Way project is not funded. However, The Highland Council and Nature Scot have committed several tens of thousands of pounds in their time.
The route around Dounreay is the main obstacle. We keep applying for funds to get people off the road, and keep getting turned down. Please write to Dounreay to ask why. Still not fixed.
We recced the whole north coast during the summer of 2024, and found several issues. We hope to have sorted out the problem around Dounreay, at least we have passed it to one of the Councillors. A visit to the Sutherland Space Hub on 31 August 2024 raised some questions which we are working to alleviate. The old bridge at Naver will be removed as it is unsafe. We spoke directly to the engineer.
Problems at Puffin Cove on the Caithness and Sutherland border were reported by the Melness Community Council on 13 February 2025. Please please please respect the puffins' privacy.
Our magazine gives regular updates. www.greentourismonline.uk.
In 2024 we enquired of Nature Scot about the possibility of upgrading the Scottish Outdoor Access Code to include disabled access. It would be at the discretion of the Scottish Parliament.
For landowners who have difficulties, we can help at £70 per hour. Now that The Highland Council has downgraded its Access Officer role we can help with our 25 years of experience.
It is noted that in England, landowners are responsible for facilities and infrastructure on their land. We in Scotland are lucky to have Core Paths and the Land Reform (Scotland) Act. Private individuals do not pay for infrastructure unless it is on their land.
