This dataset represents passenger and vehicle ferry services in Scotland. These are the routes for the start and end terminals in the Scottish Ferry Ports dataset. It was initially created for use within the development of the Scottish Government's Urban Rural Classification. Both subsidised and private routes are included, as well as the seasonality of the route and whether it can take vehicle or foot passengers only. Ferry routes and attributes are based upon route information obtained from Traveline data (four quarters of 2021) aggregated from operators (e.g. Caledonian MacBrayne, NorthLink Ferries, etc.), with additional information from SG Operational Ferries Policy team.
