This summary together with those for January and July counts from 2002 onwards can be found on the Scottish Executive Social Research Website (www.scotland.gov.uk/socialresearch), together with a comprehensive report on the first three years of the counts ( RCS, The Twice-yearly Count of Travellers in Scotland: The First Three Years, Scottish Executive Central Research Unit, 2001). All of these are also available in printed form from the Scottish Executive Social Research Unit. Summaries for the counts from July 1998 to January 2001 were prepared by the Scottish Executive Social Research Unit.

5. It should noted that minor discrepancies may be noticed between some of the figures in this Overview section and in the earlier sections dealing with particular aspects of this January count. This is due to there being missing data for an individual Council in a particular count. Here, in order to allow for year on year comparisons, it is occasionally necessary to impute data, generally from the closest previous count for that Council at the same season. The overall effect of this imputation is very small, amounting at most to only a handful of households.
