The National Parks (Scotland) Act 2000, an Act of the Scottish Parliament, sets out four main aims of the national parks of Scotland. It also lays out criteria for what qualifies a park for National Park status, and the process necessary to create such features. The Act in itself does not establish any new National Parks; it merely creates powers for the designation of National Parks.
