Current status: Answered by Gillian Martin on 8 July 2026
To ask the Scottish Government, in light of the Scottish National Party’s manifesto commitment to deliver a Scottish Paths Fund, what engagement there has been since 7 May 2026, or is planned, with organisations working in outdoor recreation and access regarding this.
Scottish Government officials are presently scoping the approach to establishing the fund. Initial meetings with stakeholders have been undertaken and more comprehensive stakeholder engagement is planned. The matter has also been discussed at the National Access Forum.
