The Scottish List Recording Area follows the EU Fishery Limits, as they apply to Scotland, which extend to 200 nautical miles (370 km) from the baseline surrounding Scotland’s coast and outlying islands, or the median line between Scotland and neighbouring countries, whichever is the closest. In reality it is usually the median line, with the 200 nautical mile limit only being reached to the west of Scotland (Bailey and Rockall), in the Atlantic Ocean.
