Note:
The above data has been extracted from the Gereral Register Office for Scotland's SCROL Web Site (www.scrol.gov.uk).
Minor alterations have been implemented to allow for compatibility between Percentages and Population Figures.
Further refinement will be undertaken once full analysis of Census 2001 has taken place.
Geographies associated with the settlements data still require quality assessment with South Ayrshire Council's known boundaries.
The settlements included are those identified by the GRO (Possibly those with population of 500+)
