Prospective sand and gravel resources (hidden below 1:500,000) |
On behalf of the Crown Estate, the British Geological Survey mapped the marine aggregate and mineral resources around Scotland. The data has been inferred from geological data, review of relevant literature and interpretation of boreholes. The marine aggregate resources include:
The mineral resources include:
Each of the 6 resources can be viewed as an NMPI layer. This layer displays the prospective sand and gravel resources around Scotland as mapped, on behalf of the Crown Estate, by the British Geological Survey. |
Evaporite resources (hidden below 1:500,000) |
On behalf of the Crown Estate, the British Geological Survey mapped the marine aggregate and mineral resources around Scotland. The data has been inferred from geological data, review of relevant literature and interpretation of boreholes. The marine aggregate resources include:

Historic Aggregate Areas (Forth and Tay) |
Historic Aggregate Areas layer shows two areas (in the Firth of Forth and Firth of Tay) that have been dredged for aggregate previously but are not currently licensed. |
Metallic mineral resources (hidden below 1:500,000) |
On behalf of the Crown Estate, the British Geological Survey mapped the marine aggregate and mineral resources around Scotland. The data has been inferred from geological data, review of relevant literature and interpretation of boreholes. The marine aggregate resources include:

Oil and Gas - Coastal Installations |
This dataset contains information on coastal facilities utilised by the hydrocarbons industry. The locations of refineries, terminals (pipelines) and decommissioning yards as well as their names are recorded. |
Oil and Gas - North Sea Interactive (NSI) biological and chemical environmental survey availability for oil and gas licence blocks |
This layer is a simplified representation of the data available through the North Sea Interactive (NSI) project carried out by Heriot Watt University, BGS and National Oceanography Centre. It combines information from the NSI product and the oil and gas licensed areas layers to highlight what type of sampling has been conducted in each area as part of the offshore environmental surveys carried out by oil and gas operators. |
Oil and Gas - Coal Mining Licence Areas (Coal Authority WMS) |
It is the statutory responsibility of The Coal Authority to licence and monitor the extraction of coal by private operators. These Licence areas relate to any granted licence for the working of coal since the creation of The Coal Authority in October 1994. This layer shows licenced areas of underground and open cast coal sites and underground coal gasification (UGC). UGC is an industrial process, which converts coal into product gas. |
