Foreshore is managed by Crown Estate Scotland, with the harbour under the port authority. Scotland has a general public right of access to beaches and foreshore and no permit is needed for detecting on Crown foreshore, but under Scots law and Treasure Trove essentially any found object can belong to the Crown and MUST be reported to the Treasure Trove Unit. Much of this coast lies within the Firth of Forth SSSI and SPA where disturbance is restricted.
