A 2026 dataset from the Registers of Scotland contains the location of ownership polygons at ground level in Scotland, produced to comply with the INSPIRE Directive. Each polygon shows the position and indicative extent of ownership for a registered property and is linked to a unique INSPIRE ID. The dataset is a sub-set of the Cadastral Map and does not establish the full extent of rights contained within a registered title.
Use Cases
- Visualize property boundary locations based on the described ownership polygons.
- Link land registry information using the unique INSPIRE ID mentioned in the description.
- Conduct regional land use analysis based on the spatial distribution of cadastral parcels.
- Support compliance reporting for the INSPIRE Directive using the officially maintained dataset.
Strengths
- Officially maintained by the Registers of Scotland, a government body.
- Each cadastral parcel has a unique INSPIRE ID, enabling reliable linking to registered titles.
- Complies with the INSPIRE Directive, suggesting adherence to a standardized data specification.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- The dataset explicitly states it cannot establish the full extent of rights and land within a title.
