Camping in Australia - Does it compare to Scotland ?

T'was a wondering about what it must be like to go camping in Scotland. In Australia, the word camping is still a politically correct term. I know Tramping is used in New Zealand and Trekking - well we do that too. So what is is called in Scotland??
Heaps of camping groups in an about the national parks and forests though you will need to get permission in some areas from National Parks & Wildlife office. We use the following term when going about our native bushlands and that - Take only photos, leave only footprints. Throughout the parks there are fire places ready made so you can make a cuppa, have a bbq or keep warm - BUT - if its summer in Australia you MUST adhere to Bush Fire danger periods and not light any of these at all. No naked flames allowed.

Wikipedia tells us the following about camping in Scotland though I would advise looking up http://www.highlandtitles.com/ or such and let them know that youre coming for a wee visit.

Did you know that as part of Scotland's access legislation (The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003) you can camp on most unenclosed land?

This is just one of the aspects which gives Scotland some of the most progressive access legislation in Europe and wild camping is also a great way of getting out into the less-discovered parts of Scotland's stunning countryside.

However with this right comes some responsibilities. Campers should leave these wild places unblemished by their visit and protect them for future visitors and campers. Over the last few years there has been an increasing number of high profile cases of antisocial and careless behaviour at wild camping sites. Concerns have been raised after some locations were affected by vandalism, out of control fires, rubbish, abandoned equipment and pollution from unburied human waste.

SNH is keen to reinforce the principles of responsible behaviour for visitors wild camping in the countryside. Scotland's Outdoor Access Code (SOAC) provides guidelines for people accessing the countryside and choosing appropriate camp sites.
Wild camping is encouraged throughout Scotland provided campers apply the good practice 'leave-no-trace' guidelines as detailed on the Outdoor Access Scotland website. These are:
- Avoid overcrowding by moving on to another location;
- Carry a trowel to bury toilet waste and urinate well away from water courses;
- Use a stove or leave no trace of any camp fire. Never cut down or damage trees;
- Take away your rubbish and consider picking up other litter as well.
- If in doubt, ask the landowner. Their advice might help you find a better camping spot.

A great list of sensible no nonsense requirements :))
