On Reputation, surveys have been carried out in recent years by the devolved government in Scotland about Scotland's international image. The questions used as part of these surveys, which looked to test knowledge, awareness and perceptions of Scotland's reputation, could help inform the development of data collection for those interested in designing proxy measures at a sub national level about reputation in a specific locality. Examples of surveys about Scotland's reputation are provided below:

1) Sense of Place Questionnaire, 2008

2) Scotland's Profile Questionnaire (China), 2006

3) Scotland's Profile Questionnaire (USA), 2006

4) Scotland's Business Profile (USA), 2006
