Summary

Ramblers Scotland worked with partners, volunteers, and publicly available sources to create this path network dataset between 2019 and 2024. The Scottish Paths Map project has now been discontinued and the data is therefore no longer being updated but we are sharing it in the hope that it will be useful for a myriad of different future purposes.

The dataset includes almost 42,000 miles of paths in Scotland, at least half of which are not shown on Ordnance Survey maps, and there are over 2,000 paths that at the time they were mapped did not appear in any other dataset. Volunteers also conducted 9,000 path surveys to gather the additional information that is available about some paths, and to remove paths from the map where they found that access rights did not apply or where they were entirely unsuitable for walking.

While Ramblers Scotland trained volunteers to carry out high-quality surveys, path audits will always be subjective to some extent. Users of this data planning to walk any of these paths should always follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.

If you have feedback, please contact Ramblers Scotland by emailing scotland@ramblers.org.uk.
