You can also download the map data for the whole of Scotland.īe aware: This map was produced at a fixed scale zooming-in does not change the resolution of the map. You can click on the map, or insert a grid reference or post code, to find out more information about the soil type found there. It underwent major change following the creation of a unified classification for Scotland’s soil in 2013. Since its first release the dataset has been corrected for minor errors and spatial boundary errors. Macaulay Institute for Soil Research, Aberdeen. Soil maps of Scotland at a scale of 1:250 000. The map should be cited as: 'Soil Survey of Scotland Staff (1981). The digital dataset is adapted from the original 1:250 000 scale soil map series. The 1:250 000 National soil map of Scotland was created by the Macaulay Institute (now The James Hutton Institute) based on data collected from field surveys carried out between between 19. Data reported includes information on typical soil properties associated with the soils in the individual QMUNITs. Over 20,500 individual soil polygons are grouped into more than 580 QMUNITs. The digital dataset is made up of three layers: soil boundaries, lochs and coastline. You can find out more about the map units in the database. The colour of each map polygon indicates the dominant soil type for each of the map unit combinations. Over 580 combinations are found in Scotland. The QMUNIT is a number identifying a unique combination of parent material, component soil types and associated landforms. The National soil map of Scotland shows the distribution of Soil Mapping Units (QMUNIT). Major revisions to the soil classification were made in October 2013. In Scotland, soil classification is based on the soil properties you can see in the field (for example, colour, texture) and on the arrangement and nature of the different horizons (layers) within the soil. Soils are classified by grouping similar soils together according to their key characteristics.
The more complex classification is obtained when you interrogate or download the map. These soil types are a simplification of the more complex soil classification used to map the soils at a 1:250 000 scale, because it is not practical to show all the individual soil types on a small, online map. The legend for the digital version of the National soil map of Scotland on this website shows 'generalised soil types'. Map legend and soil classification Legend The map is based on data collected between 19. National coverage of the main soil types across Scotland mapped originally at 1:250 000 scale.
