What does Scotland have? We are only 8.3% of the UK’s population, 8.3 %! Remember!!

32% of the land area

61% of the sea area

90% of the fresh water. (There is more fresh water in loch Ness than In England and

Wales combined!)

65% of the natural gas production

96.5% of the crude oil production

47% of the open cast coal production

81% of the untapped coal reserves

62% of the timber production

46% of the total forest area

92% of the hydro electric production

40% of the wind wave and solar energy production

60% of the dairy herd

60% of fish landings

30% of the beef herd

20% of the sheep herd

15% of the cereal holdings
