1. Figures may not sum due to rounding
2. The figures for Aberdeenshire, Argyll and Bute, Scottish Borders and South Ayrshire are not included as they did not participate in the 2004 survey.

11.2 Table 20 shows that a total of 466 hectares (378 sites) were reclaimed or brought back into use since the previous survey, this figures includes vacant sites that were previously derelict and excludes those sites removed for definitional reasons, due to naturalisation and those with an unknown new use. 181 hectares of the land brought back into use was derelict land that was reclaimed, of which 24 per cent was in North Lanarkshire (44 hectares), 14 per cent was in Falkirk (26 hectares) and 14 per cent was in Glasgow City (25 hectares). Of the 286 hectares of urban vacant land, brought back into use, 21 per cent (61 hectares) was in North Lanarkshire, and 21 per cent (59 hectares) was in Glasgow City.
