Not just Scotland, but Northern Ireland, Wales and England. I think you
need to lift the differences between the countries out of the Rights of
Way section, because the difference between the countries are more
fundamental than legal path designations and what you can do on public
access land. IMO it would make more sense to document the stuff that's
common to all countries, like motorway numbering schemes and cycle track
types on the main page, and make sub-pages or separate pages for each
individual country.

I've summarised what I think the differences are on the talk page:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:United_Kingdom_Tagging_Guidelines_Consultation#Each_country_should_have_its_own_sub-page
- let me know what you think, or if I've missed everything.

(Yes, this would have the effect of moving all the historical guff about
detailed tags for RoWs to the sub-pages because each of the
jurisdictions has a slightly different set of them. That's not
necessarily a bad thing given how they can take over discussions.)
