National Records of Scotland (NRS) is a Non-Ministerial Department of the Scottish Government. The purpose is to collect, preserve and produce information about Scotland's people and history and make it available to inform current and future generations. NRS were established on 1 April 2011, following the merger of the General Register Office for Scotland (GROS) and the National Archives of Scotland (NAS). For administrative purposes the NRS sit within the Scottish Government’s Constitution and External Affairs portfolio.

This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for ex-service households by accomodation type - households by household size in Scotland. ## Armed Forces veterans Individuals who previously served in the UK Armed Forces are included in the numbers published on Armed Forces veterans. The numbers exclude individuals who are currently serving in the UK Armed Forces. We applied a specific quality assurance process to identify currently serving individuals who incorrectly responded that they had previously served in the UK Armed Forces and removed them from this category. ## Ex Service Household indicator An indicator for whether a household contains anyone who has previously served in the UK Armed Forces.
