Trespass (Scotland) Act 1865

The Trespass (Scotland) Act 1865 (28 & 39 Vict. c. 56) is an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom granted Royal Assent on 29 June 1865 and entitled An Act to provide for the better Prevention of Trespass in Scotland.

The Act creates a criminal offence of trespass in Scotland in certain circumstances and applies a penalty which has been amended by the Criminal Justice Act 1982 to that of a fine not exceeding Level 1 on the standard scale for violation.[1]

The Act applies to a wide variety of private property, although only to lodging, occupation and encampment on such property.[2]

Developments

Subsequent legislation, such as the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003, has created more general rights of access and encampment on private land in certain circumstances, with specific exclusions.[3]

gollark: ```To keep with the tradition, our first program in Lua just prints "Hello World": print("Hello World")If you are using the stand-alone Lua interpreter, all you have to do to run your first program is to call the interpreter (usually named lua) with the name of the text file that contains your program. For instance, if you write the above program in a file hello.lua, the following command should run it: prompt> lua hello.lua```What's the problem here?
gollark: Start at Getting Started, it seems to make sense.
