In other words we had 96 + 5 and we now have 96-7+4=93, plus 5-1=4 in total, plus they list another 10 which are "inhabited islands but had no usual residents at the time of either the 2001 or 2011 censuses": Caisteal

Hi
Rebecca - first of all, congratulations on your excellent choice for a residence. The difficulty with the infobox information is that if we don't use a consistent measure for the many inhabited islands, things start to get complicated. There is however no reason not to have a sentence in the main
361:
In order to keep things simple I think we should add the 'no estimates' to the 'occasional habitation'. It is hard to know what logic they are using. They seem to have co-incidentally caught up with Inner Holm, Holm of
Grimbister, and Eilean Loain but ignored our other estimates. Eriska is clearly
448:
Having revised the table it seems clear that the NRoS are including the seven no longer inhabited islands in their "occasional" category. This gives an absolute total of 93 inhabited, 17 occasionally inhabited and 4 for which no estimate is available i.e. 93 plus 21 = 114 altogether.

now has a population of 1 (and arguably no longer
Scottish having declared independence). We clearly can't be amending population data all the time, but I think we need to add it to the list as it was previously uninhabited. The infobox will need tweaking too.
298:
I have been adding "No estimate available" to the infobox of islands with very small populations not listed by the Census and where there is clear evidence of permanent inhabitation adding them to the total that appears in the infobox. With

I live on Ulva and would like to contribute to the information. Can anyone tell me how i can update the population? For the past couple of years there have been only 10 people living here, not 16 as shown. Many thanks

are both inhabited but to date no population numbers are available. Should they not be added to the main list to make the total 99 rather than 97 even if we don't know the actual totals? South Walls would be a precedent of some kind.
365:
Arguably there are now 93 inhabited, 10 occasionally inhabited and 4 for which no estimate is available i.e. 93 plus 14 = 107 altogether. We may need a standard note in the
Infobox (assuming it isn't deprecated).

We should expect the new data sometime in the next few months. It's a big task to update everything and it will take some time to complete. I am going to make a start now by creating the tabulation. ~~~
