10.1 The following results on reuse of vacant and derelict land should be treated with caution. This part of the 1996 survey recorded sites being reclaimed or brought back into use, and also provided for the deletion of site records owing to definitional change. One hundred and twenty sites (380 hectares) were removed from the survey for definitional reasons, these have been omitted from the following tables, but can be found in the Annex.

Of the vacant land that was brought back into use (395 hectares), 21 per cent was in Glasgow and 9 per cent each in Dundee, North Lanarkshire and Falkirk.
