The Scottish Executive and Astron would like to point out that some of the images in this document are of a poorer quality than would normally appear in their documents. This is because some photographs were taken on digital cameras, mobile phone cameras and/or in difficult conditions. In addition, some of the graphs and images used have been necessarily downloaded from websites at low resolutions which are of a poor reproductive quality when printed.
