Speaking of "curtilages..." I had no idea what that word meant until a few months ago. Along with OH and a friend, I was descending Sron a'Choire Chnapanaich, one of those lumpy Glen Lyon corbetts, and we picked up the land rover track followed on the WalkHighlands route for the last wee bit of the descent. We got to the road, and then we were stopped by a lady in a Range Rover with an accent straight out of The Crown, and she asked us where we had come from. We vaguely pointed up the hillside and said we'd come off the mountain.
She then said, "You have walked through my curtilage, and I would like it if you did not do that again."
We looked blankly at her, and were like, "Uh, okay," and continued on our way. The track has no signs directing hillwalkers elsewhere or saying anything at all, and the gates were all unlocked. Plus, it's the most logical route down. The track passed within view of some outbuildings, but I've been on many a track that's gone closer to estate buildings than this one did, so I didn't think anything of it.
Were we (and the WalkHighlands route) actually within the "curtilage," or does this landowner need a refresher course on the Access Law?
We were coming down the track marked on the WH route, the so-called curtilage being roughly the area around 464422.
