5. Specific Points to Note for 2024 Survey

Responses: Orkney Islands was unable to submit a return in 2023 or 2024 and so results from 2022 have been rolled forward.

Revisions: Small revisions to the data, where relevant, for 2018 to 2023 have been carried out based on updates to information about sites. For example, sites have been added that have been identified as having first become derelict or vacant in previous years. View the revisions policy web page.
