After 15 years on Twitter, it’s time to say goodbye. It’s been a great place to share our work on access rights, and to chat signposts with like-minded folks. We’ll leave you with one final #FingerpostFriday, thanks to volunteers Geoff and John for replacing our sign at Calvine.
A person wearing a red waterproof jacket and a yellow hi-vis vest, standing beside a shiny new metal signpost which says ‘Right of Way: Speyside by the Minigaig Pass’. The sign is located on a grass verge just in front of some bins and noticeboards.

A green sign with white lettering ‘Minigaig Pass to Speyside’, but parts of the letters are missing. The pole is rusty, and the sign is located behind bins and noticeboards.

#FingerpostFriday Thanks to Access Officer Bridget @HighlandCouncil and @BEAR_Scotland for help replacing our missing sign at #Sligachan, #IsleofSkye. The start of an enjoyable coastal walk.
A green metal fingerpost beside a road, with a steep mountain in the background. The sign says "Ceum Poblach: Peighinn a’ Chorrain" in yellow and "Public Path: Peinchorran 5 km / 3 miles" in white.

#ThrowbackThursday #FromtheArchives: these letters from our Case Files record the removal of most of ScotWays’ signs in 1939 and 1940, early in the Second World War, for fear they might guide potential invaders. Most signs were reinstated after the war.
A letter from The British Aluminium Company in 1940 to The Scottish Rights of Way & Access Society regarding the removal of signs at Kinlochleven for ‘the national interest’.

A letter from The Scottish Rights of Way & Access Society in 1940 to The British Aluminium Company thanking the latter for helping remove the signs and stating that signs are being removed all over the country.

#HeritagePath of the month for March is Glen Tilt, a well-loved route through the @cairngormsnews, but did you know about its importance in the history of access? scotways.com/heritage-path-o…

#FingerpostFriday the results of a team effort by 5 of our fantastic #volunteers at #Elphinstone, #EastLothian! Ben and Chris cut back the brambles, Adam and Rod re-set the leaning post and Ken finished it off last weekend by installing a brand-new replacement sign. Thanks all!
A composite image. On the left is a leaning grey signpost with a faded, scratched green sign reading "Public Footpath to Wallyford via Falside Castle". On the right is the same post, standing upright with a new green sign worded "Public Path: Wallyford via Fa'side Castle". A track is visible behind a patch of brambles.
