Four fights in the long Scottish battle for right to roam

Successes and failures include the Stagecoach founder's Perthshire castle and a footpath near a family bungalow

• Highland landowner faces legal challenge over right to roam

In 2006, the Stagecoach founder Ann Gloag won the right to exclude a large area of grounds around Kinfauns castle, her home and estate in Perthshire, from Scotland's wide-ranging right-to-roam law. In a significant test case for the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2007, a sheriff ruled that about 12 acres was exempt as it was private garden, including four acres of woodland that had been contested by the Ramblers and Perth and Kinross council.
