Local Nature Reserves - Scotland
Local nature reserves are areas of (at least) locally important natural heritage, designated and managed by local authorities to give people better opportunities to learn about and enjoy nature close to where they live. They are found across the country, but generally close to towns and cities.
More details are available here: https://www.nature.scot/professional-advice/protected-areas-and-species/protected-areas/local-designations/local-nature-reserves
Where we have not been supplied with data by local authorities we are extracting it from a previously produced NatureScot national dataset.

- The minimum polygon area allows in the data is 25 square meters
- Checks for invalid geometry types
- The maximum angle for any spikes is 3 degrees
- Any duplicate geometry is removed from the data
- Polygons with no key names are not removed
- Checks for basic geometry i.e. self-intersection
