Camping in tents definitely not for me @pgn 

I think Scotland has the Right to Roam so no need to worry about dots or dashes possibly grin

Thank you @TallTrees and @pgn for the maps and additional info on footpaths and boundaries on OS maps.

I always find it interesting when a question on WRQ leads to more info and makes it a "learning curve" for me.

I agree ..
to me it is interest in the question itself @Mi-Amigo
Except TV movies (just not interested 😒) in that subject.
Next ones : Geography I like this subject.
Words: this is interesting 🤔 Art: very fond of this subject but it is extensive. TV not interesting to me but I may know something 😅
Bye for now TallTrees

Nor me @TallTrees. In fact I can't recall one instance when I have camped in a tent. My sons have done it frequently, being of the age where they still enjoy festivals etc.
