District boundaries were interpreted from the Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Acts 1862 - 1868, and are based on Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) river catchments and licensed Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) 1:50,000 data. Boundaries and attributes were updated in 2019 and no further boundary or attribute changes have been required. Salmon Fishery Districts are available to view as a layer on the Marine Scotland Open Data Network – see Marine Scotland Information pages for Salmon and Sea Trout Fishing at https://marine.gov.scot/themes/salmon-sea-trout-fishing. Boundaries were re-projected from British National Grid (BNG) to WGS84 Web Mercator before upload to Marine Scotland MAPS NMPi. As the layer was derived by the Scottish Government from a licensed dataset, it is not downloadable or routinely available. It can be shared on request if the user provides evidence that they hold a licence from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) for the 1:50,000 Digital Terrain Model (DTM).

SEPA catchment boundaries were combined into fishery districts in GIS by interpreting the Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Act 1868, with some input from District Salmon Fishery Boards. Boundaries between districts were improved with additional naming in 2016 to support the Conservation of Salmon (Scotland) Regulations. The 1:50,000 scale of Salmon Fishery District boundaries means that they are suitable for mapping but may not be sufficiently accurate to produce exact GIS selections from, or overlaps with, other datasets. Maps containing Salmon Fishery District boundaries require Crown copyright and acknowledgement of SEPA and CEH: 'District boundaries derived from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) 1:50,000 river catchment data, based on digital spatial data licensed from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, © NERC (CEH)' (preceded if appropriate by 'Some features of this map are'); and 'Contains Ordnance Survey data © Crown copyright and database right [year]'.
