notes: This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for Sexual Orientation in Scotland. ## Sexual Orientation Scotland’s Census included a new question on sexual orientation in 2022. This means that there are not comparable data for previous censuses. Sexual orientation is an umbrella term covering sexual identity, attraction, and behaviour. The term sexual orientation may mean different things to different people. This was a voluntary question for people aged 16 and over. _The quality assurance report can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/2022-results/scotlands-census-2022-quality-assurance-reports/quality-assurance-report-sexual-orientation-and-trans-status-or-history/)_
