1 Figures may not sum due to rounding
2 The figures for Dundee City, Falkirk, Highland, Scottish Borders and West Lothian are not included as they did not participate in the 2000 survey
3 The figures for Argyll & Bute and South Ayrshire are sites brought back into use, compared with sites recorded in 1998, as they did not participate in the 1999 survey
4 The figures for Moray are sites brought back into use, compared with sites recorded in 1996, as they did not participate in the 1997,1998 or 1999 surveys

10.2 Table 16 shows that a total of 600 hectares (381 sites) were reclaimed or brought back into use since the 1999 survey, excluding those sites removed for definitional reasons. Fifty per cent (301 hectares) of this area was derelict land that was reclaimed, of which 32 per cent was in North Lanarkshire (97 hectares), 19 per cent in Glasgow City (57 hectares) and 13 per cent in East Ayrshire (38 hectares). Of the 299 hectares of vacant land which was brought back into use, 25 per cent (75 hectares) was in Fife, and 21 per cent (62 hectares) was in Glasgow City.
