FRCC is a locally elected body that represents the people of those villages and undertakes certain functions within the community

Its main statutory duty is to act as a consultee in the planning and licensing process but it also discusses many other local issues such as roads, footpaths, litter, dog fouling, playgrounds,street lighting, etc. The first fifteen minutes of the meeting are made available to members of the public who wish to address the council on any local matters. If there is more than one speaker from the public, each is limited to a maximum of five minutes to the first three, allocated on a first come, first served basis. You can apply to address the council by sending an e-mail to The Chairman

Copies of the minutes of the last meeting, and all previous meetings from September 1998, can be viewed at: http://fortrosemarkie.org/

The Scottish Outdoor Access Code (SOAC) has been in place for almost 22 years now. How well is it working?

The Rural Affairs Committee wants to hear from the public to understand how well Scotland's outdoor access system is working and consider whether changes are needed to ensure that it is fit for the future.

As a reminder, the Code is a voluntary code addressing non-motorised access to land in Scotland. As a voluntary code emphasising responsible behaviour, it is not enforceable by law.

If you have views on the Code, you can contribute them here: https://yourviews.parliament.scot/335/outdoor-access/

The inquiry closes on 23 November 2026.
