Re: Headcams
I think you'll find that Scottish Access code allows access to virtually anywhere - and there are no restrictions other than "acting responsibly" and I don't see how wearing a head cam is irresponsible!

Re: Headcams
The Scottish outdoor Access Code however does mention the following:
"2.12 There are some places where public access is restricted by the law
on the grounds of health, safety or the national or public interest. Although
many of these places would fall into the definition of a building and its
curtilage, they are taken to include: working mines and quarries; military
areas; dams, intakes, spillways and other areas of hazard at reservoirs;
construction sites; transport routes and facilities (eg. airfields, railway lines),
and the safety zone around major chemical plants."
"2.25 In planning any major event, the organiser(s) must:
[...]
• ensure that the privacy of local residents is not disturbed and take
steps to minimise any such effects – liaising carefully and acting on
people’s concerns can help to promote a good image for the event;"
The 2013 Scottish 6Days in Roseisle (Kinloss army base) had access restrictions, though imaging was not mentioned.
I think that if, for whatever reason, the landowner requests limitations on imaging then event organisers should have the tools to enforce this if they feel it would help to retain a good relationship.

Re: Headcams
I'm sure some areas where there are security issues (army bases as mentioned above) or maybe even some schools, given recent terrorist issues, might quite legitimately place a ban on recording video onsite. Dont see why that should be a concern for orienteering. A ban on maps might be tricky to work with mind you...
Orienteering - its no walk in the park

Still don't see that, with a few exceptions, the wearing of a head-cam can possibly be irresponsible or cause issues.
