Yes, wild camping is generally allowed on Scottish beaches under the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, which permits responsible wild camping in most unenclosed areas. This includes many beaches, as long as you follow the guidelines for responsible camping, such as not camping too close to buildings or roads, leaving no trace, and not causing any damage to the environment. However, it's essential to check for any local restrictions or bylaws that may apply to specific beaches or areas. Keep in mind that wild camping is different from staying at designated campgrounds, and you may not have access to facilities or amenities.
