The official website to promote the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, as prepared by Scottish Natural Heritage, has now gone live as of this morning at www.outdooraccess-scotland.com
It seems to be pretty comprehensive. I haven't had time to study the content in depth though.
The latest I have heard is that it might be February before the legislation actually comes into force. The front page of the new website already concedes that it's not going to be this year, and an announcement of the date will come this month. Apparently the civil servants are having difficulty drafting the guidance for Local and National Park Authorities.
