Yes, access laws are indeed different in Scotland to England & Wales. However, the point remains that highway=path, alone, does not tell you anything about the character of a path, nor provide any way for you to deduce it with a >50% certainty. So if you must use highway=path, then surface and access tags are absolute essentials, and width tags etc. are helpful. Or, alternatively, use a meaningful tag like =cycleway, which is simpler for mappers and safer for consumers.
