I don't read so good, but would it effect wild camping? It looks like the focus is on gypsies/travellers.
This legislation provides for an offence where the trespasser is likely to ‘substantially damage’ the land or interfere with it; the police may direct trespassers to leave and failure to comply with that direction is an offence. Trespass is also a criminal offence in Scotland. The Trespass (Scotland) Act specifically excludes the exercise of recreational/roaming access rights.

The government is trying to criminalise trespass which would have a huge affect on wild camping amongst other things.
