Scotland's Census is underway
Scotland's biggest population count, the 2011 Census, is underway.
Your census questionnaire will be delivered by Sunday 27 March. You can fill it in as soon as it arrives provided your answers cover the people living or staying with you on the night of 27 March.
It is very important to include everyone in your household because the census results are used to help to target and deliver billions of pounds worth of services such as education and transport, and business investment. So painting a picture of Scotland helps to shape our future.
