The data cover areas surveyed from the early 1980s onwards, and contain a reference to the field slip, the version number of the field slip, the number of the locality point and a spatial location. The index contains only the locations of locality points. The textual descriptions of field localities are held on hard-copy field note record cards, which are held within the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC) and are accessible on request to BGS Enquiries. A high-level index of available field note record cards in Scotland is available via the NGDC Deposited Data Search: https://webapps.bgs.ac.uk/services/ngdc/accessions/index.html?simpleText=field%20note%20card#. Data were entered into the database by BGS staff from 1997 onwards. For more information, refer to: Kilpatrick, K., 1999. Users' Guide: Data Entry and Editing for the BGS Field Notebook Database.
