Checklist of the Urban Flora of Scotland: Second, updated edition

Compiled by Brian Ballinger from information gathered during the Urban Flora of Scotland Project.

The urban flora is regarded as being important in conservation terms, particularly as much of the countryside has been given over to large-scale agriculture and forestry. Some surveys have suggested that the urban flora is more diverse than the rural flora. This is a list of vascular plants recorded in Scotland’s towns and cities with populations of more than 1000.
