EdinburghScotWays (The Scottish Rights of Way and Access Society) has been working to safeguard rights of way since 1845 and is probably the oldest organisation in the world dedicated to improving outdoor access. We are a voluntary organisation, a registered Scottish charity and a company limited by guarantee.
ScotWays seeks new members to its board of volunteer directors to replace retiring directors’ skills and knowledge and to broaden its base of director expertise. Its office is in central Edinburgh, but we welcome board members from across Scotland as meetings can be attended remotely. We seek directors who wish to contribute actively to ScotWays’ activities.
As well as attending board meetings and contributing to board business between meetings as necessary, directors are expected to join and assist with the work of one or two sub-committees. Previous experience of being on a board, love of the outdoors and knowledge of Scotland’s outdoor access rights are all useful, but not essential.
