In Scotland, a National Scenic Area (NSA) is a part of the countryside with high scenic value of national importance and interest that has statutory protection to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of its landscape.

National Scenic Areas (NSAs) include:

* Mountain ranges.
* Islands.
* Diverse landscapes.

It is believed that the NSA label is not widely known - even in Scotland - when compared to similar conservation designations. There are currently 40 designated National Scenic Areas in Scotland (or approximately 13% of the country’s land area) primarily located in remote parts of the country.

= History =

NSAs are administered by Scottish Natural Heritage. They were originally managed by the Countryside Commission for Scotland.

NSAs are considered the Scottish counterpart to the Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) designation used in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. There are currently 46 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with 33 wholly in England, four in Wales, one which crosses the English/Welsh border and eight in Northern Ireland (ref. National Association Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty).

While AONBs were eventually designated under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, no such arrangement was made for scenic areas in Scotland under the 1949 Act. A separate designation in Scotland was first introduced under the designation of national park protection areas. These proposed areas included Loch Lomond & the Trossachs, the Cairngorms, Glen Coe-Ben Nevis-Black Mount, Wester Ross and Glen Strathfarrar-Glen Affric-Glen Cannich). National park protection areas were officially renamed as National Scenic Areas in 1980.

The NSA designation is not the same thing as a national park, although one place can be given both designations. National parks are recognised under the National Parks (Scotland) Act 2000.
