We've discussed core paths before at various openstreetmap meetups in Scotland.
The issue is that the paths are produced on OS maps and the data is not
necessarily open. In the main, these paths are not signposted or at least
signposted as core paths. There appears no way in good faith to reproduce the
core path routes without copying OS copyrighted maps.
Also all the data is handled by individual councils. The advice was to perhaps
ask one council for the their data and ask them to get it exempted from the OS
copyright. Hopefully the other councils will fall like dominoes after that.
Any fancy a pet project?...

I think I understand what councils have to do for public rights of way in
England and Wales. However, I don't understand the situation concerning
rights of way in Scotland. I would like some help, please.
What kinds of paths are there in Scotland?
I've seen mention of both rights of way and core paths.
What's the difference?
Who are the authorities that have legal obligations?
What legal obligations do they have?
Do they have to maintain a definitive map?

According to the government site below in Scotland the local authorities
don't have to signpost or record the Rights of Way:
https://www.gov.uk/right-of-way-open-access-land/public-rights-of-way
The paths are recorded and signposted by the charity Scotways where there
appears to be plenty of information:
