1. From 1996-97, outwith the UK includes freight imported via ports in England and Wales, which then comes by rail into Scotland (previously, such freight was counted as lifted elsewhere in the UK).
It should be noted that, in all years, imported freight lifted at Scottish ports is counted under lifted in Scotland.
