I guess the comments are legally correct but it sounds like lawyer speak to me. Most of these stone stacks and certainly the ones that are extensive are at the roadside. I would imagine that the kids (or adults) building them know little and probably care less about the access laws the same as folk building sandcastles at the beach, in fact it is probably similar in many cases. With the stones easily deconstructed or deconstructing themselves.
Scotland has far better access laws than the rest of Britain and Ireland and is probably considered a world leader when it comes to access for the people.
It's worth remembering that and also asking the question why the rest of the UK and Ireland is so far behind.
