National population projections for Scotland are prepared by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), in consultation with, and at the request of, the Registrar General. The latest projections, to which the sub-national projections in this booklet have been made consistent, are based on the mid-2012 population estimates. The projections cover the period to 2112 and are available by single year of age and sex for each year of the projection period. More detailed data is available from the ONS website or by contacting ONS at:

Estimates of the resident population of Scotland are prepared annually by the National Records of Scotland (NRS). They are available by sex and single year of age for each of the administrative areas of Scotland. The estimates relate to 30 June 2012 of the year covered and, generally, they are released during April of the following year. A substantial amount of historical data is available. Information is also available on a wide range of related topics such as migration estimates, and data from the 2001 and earlier Censuses of Population.
The population projections benefit from the advice of the SCOTSTAT Population and Migration Statistics Committee (PAMS) Scotland. Its papers and minutes are available on the NRS website.
