This layer shows the population density (persons per hectare) estimate by locality. The estimate is derived from the report "Mid-2016 Population Estimates for Settlements and Localities in Scotland" by National Records of Scotland (NRS). Localities correspond to the more recognisable towns and cities of Scotland which can be found within settlements. They also have a minimum rounded population of 500 people or more. The locality data sets are updated every 2 years.

The UK Marine Noise Registry (MNR) is a database that records the spatial and temporal distribution of loud, low to medium frequency (10Hz – 10kHz) impulsive noise generating activities in UK seas. This layer shows the distribution of impulsive noise events for Scotland's seas, extracted from the MNR and shown in Total Pulse Block Days (PBD) per year for 2015-2017.

This layer is timeaware on MS Maps NMPi and is intended to be updated yearly.

The UK Marine Noise Registry (MNR) is a database that records the spatial and temporal distribution of loud, low to medium frequency (10Hz – 10kHz) impulsive noise generating activities in UK seas. This layer shows the distribution in oil and gas blocks of each activity type recorded per year for 2015-2017 for Scotland's seas, extracted from the MNR.
