Robert Unfortunately no such thing as a "UK public footpath" as the term "public footpath" only has - afaik - a legal meaning in England and Wales - but I still agree with Ed and therefore by extension with your conclusion even if not with the rationale (:>)
United Kingdom = England + Wales + Scotland + Northern Ireland Great Britain = England + Wales + Scotland British Isles = England + Wales + Scotland + Northern Ireland + Republic of Ireland Little Britain = Amusing satirical TV programme, mostly seen in the United Kingdom New Britain = an island in Papua New Guinea Scotland has a completely different legal system to England & Wales.

And after all, it would be a UK public footpath if it's situated in the UK, so there's really no need to track that.
