- Statement
- The dataset was originally digitised from 1946 Ordnance Survey 1/4 inch to mile mapping in 1997 by the Scottish Office Digital Mapping Service and a further QA was carried out in 2003 by the Scottish Executive Geographical Information Service. The 2016 revision to the dataset was carried out by The James Hutton Institute as part of their work for the Areas of National Constraint (ANC) designation, and is derived from Civil Parish and Agricultural Parish datasets published by National Records of Scotland and The Scottish Government respectively. Civil parish boundaries were used in large measure to re-capture the agricultural boundaries at higher spatial resolution than they existed in the original layer. Where these did not contain some of the splits between parishes seen in the original agricultural parish boundary layer (such as in Orkney, Shetland, Edinburgh), historic Ordnance Survey 6-inch to the mile mapping (scale 1:10,560 – i.e. consistent with the scale of capture of the civil parish boundaries) was used to derive the boundaries. A new coastline has been applied which follows the Mean High Water (Springs) tide line marked in Ordnance Survey MasterMap Topography Layer (extracted January 2016). The result is an improved representation of the Agricultural Parish Boundaries at approximately 1:10,000 scale. GSS codes were assigned in September 2023 to allow for the publication of Official Statistics for this geography. The original parish codes also remain in use.
