9. Under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 and the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, access rights extend to a person with a disability who is using a motorised vehicle or vessel built or adapted by that person. Two of the participants in our study used motorised mobility scooters to engage in outdoor recreation; these individuals, as well as their thoughts and opinions, were included as it was clear that their motorised activity was allowing them to access the outdoors for recreational purposes.
