REFERENCES
The Scottish Executive and Astron would like to point
out that some of the images in this document are of a
poorer quality than would normally appear in their
documents. This is because some photographs were taken on
digital cameras, mobile phone cameras and/or in difficult
conditions. In addition, some of the graphs and images used
have been necessarily downloaded from websites at low
resolutions which are of a poor reproductive quality when
printed.
