SAAF has felt for some time that there would be great value in mapping the depth and breadth of the outdoor sector in Scotland.  The map below was created by Myles Farnbank with support from other SAAF members. Aim
  • Create a ‘complete’ map of the Outdoor sector in Scotland.
  • Aid funding and government engagement.
  • Aid cross sectoral engagement/collaboration.
  • Basis for further research, more detailed mapping.
Rationale
  • Strategic level – representative organisations that are engaged at a significant level in a particular aspect of the outdoor sector.
  • Scottish Remit – organisations that are UK wide are only included where they have significant activity or representation in Scotland.
  • Groupings – represent the major areas of engagement across the outdoor sector in Scotland.
  • Position of organisations – organisations are positioned where their primary engagement lies.  Recognising that many organisations have engagement across several groupings.  Any organisation only appears once on the map.
Navigation Each of the main sections of the map can be expanded by clicking on the relevant coloured bullseye symbol. In some cases there are further groupings (capitalised) which can also be expanded by clicking the associated bullseye symbol. Some organisational entries can also be expanded in the same way. Each organisational entry has a paperclip symbol which allows you to then click again to visit the associated website. Each organisational entry has a notes symbol which opens a brief description of their work. Whilst you can navigate the mapin the window below if you want to open the map in anew window click here SAAF recognises that this map will never be complete and will need to be updated as required.  We are very keen to hear of any strategic organisations not yet represented and from any organisations who wish to amend their descriptor that appears on the map.
