A. Farm holdings above a certain economic or physical threshold are regarded as Major Holdings. Holdings below these thresholds are regarded as Minor holdings. The data provided from the respective government departments and converted by Edinburgh University Data Library correspond to Major holdings only. A subset of data for Scotland for both Major and Minor holdings exist for 1989 – 1996. This data will be made available in due course.
