Also, most of the Beaches in Scotland belong to the people, and not the Crown, like they do in England and Wales. Which means no-one can stop you using them.

- arethuza 8y agoI'm not sure if that's true - ownership of the foreshore seems (like many things in Scottish land ownership) quite complex - but the Crown does own about 50% of the foreshore: https://www.gov.scot/publications/land-reform-review-group-final-report-land-scotland-common-good/pages/26/ https://www.gov.scot/publications/land-reform-review-group-f...
- Jaruzel 8y agoI sit corrected :)
- arethuza 8y agoI know someone who met the Queen and Princes Margaret out for a walk from the royal yacht on a beach on the Outer Hebrides - amusingly it looks like the beach they were on isn't owned by the Crown, but I doubt any landowner would argue with them as they had a group of Royal Marines tagging along at a discreet distance.
