Scotland’s Greenspace Map can be viewed as an interactive map and the GIS data can be provided to users with appropriate Ordnance Survey licence arrangements. We expect the interactive map will be of most interest to members of the public and community groups.

Interactive map

On the interactive map, you can search the map using place names or postcodes and then use the zoom and navigation tools to move around or zoom in closer. The level of detail depends on how much you zoom in. When you click on an area of greenspace you will see its primary and secondary coding. View the Map

GIS data

The full GIS data provides an incredible resource for planners, policy makers, researchers and greenspace managers. It can be used to support cross-boundary work on green networks, planning and regeneration; and when combined with other datasets on, for example, health and deprivation, can be used to support decision-making, prioritisation, policy development and research. It can also help target resources and investment to areas with low levels of greenspace.

In the short term, the data is available on a CD. To request a copy of the data, please email abigail.page@centralscotlandgreennetwork.org

Our thanks to the Central Scotland Green Network Support Unit for handling the CD distribution of Scotland’s Greenspace Map.

We are currently working with the Improvement Service and Scottish Government to develop a restricted data download facility for Scotland’s Greenspace Map. In the longer term, it is hoped that GIS web services can be developed as part of the second phase of development of Scotland’s Environment Web.
