Hello everyone,
For the first time since OSM came into being I've just now visited low(ish)land
Scotland, i.e. Dumfries and Galloway and wondered what Scottish mappers
typically do about these situations.
Firstly, while (I believe) you can walk just about anywhere in Scotland, except
during the stalking season, there are a number of waymarked footpaths,
waymarked similarly to England and Wales. I guess these have no legal relevance
but are merely recommended routes. Are these tagged specifically? I just tagged
them "note=Waymarked footpath"
Secondly, again while you can walk anywhere, I came across a number of
occasions where tracks temporarily end, then restart further on, and in between
is a relatively easy cross country route which you can follow (unsignposted)
where you don't have to scale drystone walls, scramble through undergrowth etc.
AFAIK such "recommended routes" are not generally put into OSM but need a
separate project, but does anyone do otherwise?
Thanks,
Nick
