    @@RustyRidesGravel I’m the same. I was just wondering if anyone was assigned to check that bothy as it looks like it needs a good clean up. Most bothy have someone to go in every now and then to do so as good meaning folk leave foodstuffs and rubbish behind rather than take it out again.

    No unauthorised access usually means No access with a vehicle. The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 says that there is a right to be on land for recreational purposes. This includes you on your bike. This is commonly known as “The Right to Roam”. The Scottish Outdoor Access Code gives good advice. There are of course exclusions; land around houses, schools, farm buildings and compounds etc. There are also some restrictions concerning tents and caravans / campervans. True wild camping is permitted although there are controversial restrictions around Loch Lomond for example where permits are required. None one of these would seem to apply to the wind farm you were on. It would be different if parts the wind farm was fenced off due to building work I believe. (I’m not a legal expert) 😂😂
