  • Updated description of National Soils of Scotland from

    #James Hutton Institute data sets contributing or derived from the National Soils of Scotland database. ###Soil maps display the distribution of different soil types across the land based on what you can see in the field. The amount of detail shown on a map depends on its scale. For example, smaller scale maps (e.g. 1:250,000) will show less detail than larger scale maps (e.g. 1:25,000). More detailed 1:25,000 maps are also available for much of Scotland’s cultivated agricultural soils and the adjacent uplands and only provide partial cover of Scotland. ###Data may be downloaded from here or the sections lower down this page: http://www.hutton.ac.uk/learning/natural-resource-datasets/soilshutton/soils-maps-scotland/download
