Heading for the Scottish Hills pilot

The 'Heading for the Scottish Hills' pilot web service will operate in some of the most popular hillwalking areas in Scotland in 2012 - in the Cairngorms, on the West Coast and in the Breadalbane area. The service helps you to find out where deer stalking is taking place on participating Estates over the busy stag stalking season (1st July to 20th October) and to plan routes which minimise the chance of disturbing stalking, in line with the guidance in the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. 

Please be aware that deer stalking takes place in many areas in Scotland that are not part of the pilot.

Using the map below

The map shows the areas that are currently part of the pilot, but new properties will be added in the Breadalbane area before the start of the stag stalking season on the 1st July. You can either click on the appropriate area on the map or zoom to the area by entering the name of the hill or area in the search box. Once you have clicked on a participating area the stalking information for that property can be accessed by clicking on the link in the 'stalking information' column in the table below the map, or by clicking on the red dot within the property. If you have clicked on the red dot you will then need to click 'view stalking details' within the pop up box. You will now be able to see the latest available information which varies from specific details for the next day or two with any suggested alternative routes displayed, to more general information about stalking on that property with contact details to find out more information if required.
