Mammal records for Dumfries and Galloway

Quality Control

The data have been checked and verified as far as is reasonably possible.

Method steps

1. The records originate from a variety of sources, including site surveys and ad-hoc records from the public.

The dataset primarily covers the county of Dumfries and Galloway (vice-counties 72 Dumfriesshire, 73 Kirkcudbrightshire and 74 Wigtownshire) there are a small number of records from neighbouring counties. The majority of records are captured at 6-figure resolution, however, records at a higher and lower resolution also occur. Geographical coverage of the records is likely to reflect recording effort rather than actual species distribution.
