- ■To co-operate with other bodies to promote the foregoing objectives
Wild Land in Scotland
Wild land areas in Scotland are dominated by natural vegetation, a lack of human intrusion from built structures and the rugged and remote nature of the terrain.
In 2014 SNH (now NatureScot) undertook to map wild land in Scotland. Their map can be found here.
