Cairngorms Local Outdoor Access Forum

The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 places a number of duties on all local authorities and National Park Authorities in Scotland, including the duty to set up at least one local access forum in their area.

After extensive public consultation in 2004 the Cairngorms National Park Authority set up a single Forum for the Park comprising 21 individuals representing land managers, community interests, recreational users and public agencies. The Forum is called the ‘Cairngorms Local Outdoor Access Forum’.

The purpose of the Forum is to advise the Authority, and others consulting the Forum, on matters to do with outdoor access rights; rights of way and the Core Paths Plan. It can also offer to give advice towards the resolution of disputes over outdoor access.
