The Scottish Executive doesnot hold data on seagull attacks. Local authorities may record this informationin addressing problems caused by urban gulls. Where the local authorities haveprovided information on this subject it has been reflected in the commissionedreport entitled Review of Urban Gulls and their Management in Scotlandwhich is available on the Scottish Executive website.
