Wikipedia tells me UK includes England, Scotland, Wales, & Northern Ireland. Though each jurisdiction may have more specific laws, the laws on this seem to be broadly alike, and the guidance appears to apply to general policing in all of them. Someone better versed can get into the nuances.
That's a good point. My understanding was College of Policing gives professional guidance for all UK, but its bearing on Scotland & Northern Ireland may be looser.
British Naturists seem to think it's legal in all UK, Scotland & Northern Ireland follow similar policing practices (consider every case on its merits) & may take that document into consideration. They provide a summary mentioning the Scottish counterpart of the law you mentioned: their language look quite similar (similar purposes/conditions to qualify as offenses).
While the similarity in these laws is compelling, and naturists report they are policed in similar ways, case law might qualify their interpretation.
The rando's writing shown in the OP could mean anything, and if you follow the link to that post, you'll find a similar discussion to this one that links similar content.
