The outdoors pursuits organisation said the stage was more of an extension to the daily exercise guidelines than a restarting of sport and recreational activity.
It said most people in cities and in central Scotland will still be unable to access the hills and crags.
Chief executive officer Stuart Younie said: “While welcoming this step forward, it must be stressed that an easing of lockdown does not mean a return to normal, and we urge everyone heading out to enjoy the outdoors to be mindful of how their actions reflect on the whole outdoor community."

Former Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers says he "had no strength" after contracting Covid-19 in March.
The current Leicester City boss is the second Premier League manager to confirm he has had Covid-19, with Arsenal's Mikel Arteta having also tested positive in March.
The 47-year-old says he suffered with "breathlessness" before fully recovering from the virus.
"I could hardly walk and it reminded me of walking up Mount Kilimanjaro," he tells BBC Radio Leicester.
"We had a week off when we were supposed to play Watford [14 March] and then, the week after that, I started to struggle.
"For three weeks I had no smell or taste. I had no strength and, a week after, my wife was the same. We were tested and both of us were detected with the virus."

Thousands of people have flocked to Edinburgh's parks and beaches on the first day of the coronavirus lockdown being eased. Sunbathers covered The Meadows and sat on park benches as temperatures reached 25C in the capital.
People were seen playing matches on tennis courts and others walked in local beauty spots. Grannies were seen out walking with pushchairs at Blackford Pond after being reunited with their grandchildren.
There was a noticeable increase in the volume of traffic and many cars had their roofs down while others were playing music. However, The Pentland Hills Regional Park on the edge of Edinburgh was still closed to motorists. It reopens next week.
Maddy Scaife, 24, and Dr Ben O Ceallaigh, 30, said they had bought a hammock especially for the reopening of parks.
Maddy said: "We live in a flat in Bruntsfield and don't have a garden so the lockdown has been horrendous for us.
"We are so enjoying being out today on The Links and seeing everyone enjoying the day. It's lovely to see everyone out and it's such a nice atmosphere."

Image source, Getty ImagesMark McLaughlin, from The Times, recalls a quote from Prof Jason Leitch from 10 March on Good Morning Scotland when the national clinical director said the science suggested there was nothing to be gained at that point by stopping large gatherings or closing schools
Mr McLaughlin adds that Prof Leitch said "you want to gradually increase the number of people over a very controlled period so that we get herd immunity in the community", which seemed to conflict with a statement six days later when he said that herd immunity was never the policy of the Scottish or any government.
Prof Leitch replies that "any suggestion that any adviser, UK or Scottish, wanted people to die to create herd immunity is just completely false and upsetting".
He says that immunity will be helpful in battling Covid-19 but points out that it still not known "whether we get long-term immunity".
"I wish the herd immunity hadn't grown these arms and legs," he adds. "I'm sorry that that word has become bigger than it was intended to be in those early interviews and they were two and half months ago, so things have moved on considerably."
