Response
Scottish Government does not currently have any vacant properties on its estate.
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance, Scottish Government does not have some of the information you have requested. This is because Agencies manage their estate independently of Scottish Government. To obtain their information relevant to this request, you will need to submit FOI requests to each Agency individually.
