Best to get a copy your local OS Exploer series map 1:25,000 and study it for potentional green lane routes. Your local ROW (rights of way) officer might be of help too. Maybe make contact with local off-roading groups if there are any?

thanks mate how do surfs compare off road ?

Thats the same problem i have but public rights of way are not shown on maps of Scotland, not sure why though. so it makes green lane'ing very hard.

Probably a biased view coming from this group , but as far as I can tell , they put the Landrovers to shame, eat up Frontera's and stomp over any of the pretend off roaders !

At present local authorities in Scotland are not statutorily obliged to keep a list or map of public rights of way. Aberdeenshire Council has details of some ROWs but no fully comprehensive or definitive record exists. For Aberdeenshire the most comprehensive public document is the Catalogue of Rights of Way (CROW), produced by the Scottish Rights of Way Society and Scottish Natural Heritage in the 1990s on a 1:50 000 scale Ordnance Survey Landranger base map.

I've been looking all mornig for information, there seems to be plenty about cycling and walking, I know there are runs near Braemar, I've seen them on OS maps.

Found this link though

Got this from the council today,

Took them about 4 hours to respond, that not too shaby.

"In response to your enquiry, there are relatively few rights of way in Scotland where a right of vehicular access has been confirmed. A "Catalogue of Rights of Way" covering the whole of Scotland is held by the Scottish Rights of Way and Access Society, who may be able to supply you with further information.
