2. From 1996-97, "outwith the UK" includes freight taken to ports for export (such freight was previously counted under either "within Scotland" or "elsewhere in the UK", depending upon the location of the port).
3. "Minerals" (including coal and coke) from 1996-97; "Coal and coke" only for earlier years.
