In addition, some of the data published in Rural Scotland Key Facts have been designated as National Statistics in their own right. These have been marked 'Data are National Statistics' in the Sources.

Some of the data published in this booklet are Official Statistics and, as such, will still conform to the Code of Practice for Official Statistics although this has not been independently tested. These have been marked 'Data are Official Statistics' in the Sources section.
