whether it (a) tracks the location of eagle nests and (b) informs landowners and occupiers when an eagle is nesting in their area.

The Scottish Government does not track the location of eagle nests directly, however Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee fund periodic surveys of all known golden eagle territories in Scotland. The surveys are undertaken by the Raptor Study Group and RSPB and the next survey is due in 2015. For the reintroduced white-tailed eagle, SNH contracts RSPB to monitor all the territories in Scotland on an annual basis.
The Scottish Government does not inform landowners or occupiers of nests on their land. Eagles are territorial birds which hold a territory all year, and in the case of golden eagle are usually long established. There are usually several nests within a territory which get used alternately, although some may only have one or certain favoured nests. Most landowners and occupiers are aware of the presence of eagles on their land, though may not know all nest sites. With golden eagles those people monitoring the territory will often inform the landowner of the nest, but this does not always happen and in some cases information is not shared due to suspicions about persecution or disturbance. With white-tailed eagles, the RSPB does inform landowners or occupiers without publicising the locations more widely.
