This publication looks at the data on Scottish GDP published by the Scottish Government. It is pulled directly from the Gross Domestic Product: Quarterly Output by Industry1 section on the statistics.gov.scot website.

Key points about the data: •

• The data used is for the "onshore economy" meaning it does not include output from the North Sea.

• The data is in real terms. This means growth rates have been adjusted to have the effect of price changes removed.

• The data has been seasonally adjusted.

More information about the data can be found on the Scottish Government website.
