Scotland:
The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 and Scottish Outdoor Access Code came into force on 9th February 2005. The Act establishes a statutory right to camp and the Code describes the responsibilities and best practice guidance that should be followed when exercising your right to camp wild.
A section in the Trespass (Scotland) Act 1865, which contained an offence of camping on land without the consent of the owner or occupier, has been repealed via Schedule 2 of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003. The 2003 Act confirms that camping is a lawful activity when done by a person in the exercise of the access rights created by the Land Reform Act.
The Scottish Outdoor Access Code contains guidance on the responsibilities that accompany the access rights in the Act. The Code provides specific advice on wild camping and recommends that in order to avoid causing problems you should not camp in enclosed fields of crops or farm animals

scotland you can wild camp anywhere, apart from certain areas in loch lomand which I have read made a special law to prevent people wild camping around loch Lomond after a group of wild campers trashed the place one time.
in the uk there is only 1 place you can freely wild camp without permission and that is Dartmoor, which has the same freedom to wildcamp as scotland..... but not in some parts which the military use as a live fire training zone haha
