3. HBRG Highland Seashore Project Dataset
   Records derived from the Highland Seashore Project, which began in 2013 though one pilot survey pre-dates the official project. The project is managed by The Highland Council - see http://www.highlandbiodiversity.com/seashore.asp.
4. HBRG Insects Dataset

Assembly and mobilisation of this dataset has been funded by grants from Scottish Natural Heritage (now NatureScot) since 2004, and in some years by members of the Highland Biodiversity Partnership.
5. HBRG Invasive Non-native Plants Dataset
   Records of alien invasive plants in (mostly) Highland. Assembly and mobilisation of this dataset has been funded by grants from Scottish Natural Heritage (now NatureScot) since 2004, and in some years by members of the Highland Biodiversity Partnership.
6. HBRG JP Blunt Fungus Dataset
   Records of fungi collected by the late John Blunt, mainly in NW Sutherland, VC 108, from 1977 to 2011, and assembled with the assistance of Ian Evans. The specimens will be deposited in the RBGE. Assembly and mobilisation of this dataset has been funded by grants from Scottish Natural Heritage (now NatureScot) since 2004, and in some years by members of the Highland Biodiversity Partnership.
7. HBRG Other Invertebrates Dataset
   All records of invertebrates apart from insects available to HBRG including all those previously held on the database at IMAG. Assembly and mobilisation of this dataset has been funded by grants from Scottish Natural Heritage (now NatureScot) since 2004, and in some years by members of the Highland Biodiversity Partnership.
8. HBRG P.F. Entwistle Colln and Notebooks Dataset
   Records extracted from the collection and notes of the late Philip Entwistle. The work was carried out by Stephen Moran with the assistance of Hayley Wiswell and Murdo Macdonald, and was funded by SNH, BRISC and the John Lewis Foundation. Until spring 2019 the datasets were separate, the notebook material being dr1730, now deleted.
9. HBRG Richard Moore beetle records from Raasay Dataset
   Records of beetles from Raasay collected by Richard Moore and assembled by Jeanne Robinson (Hunterian Museum, University of Glasgow) and Stephen Bungard. Most are his own records from 1972-2015, but a few older literature records from 1938-1955 are included. Mobilisation of the dataset to NBN Atlas is funded by Scottish Natural Heritage.
10. HBRG Vertebrates (not Badger) Dataset
    All records of vertebrates (apart from birds, which we do not store routinely, and Badger) available to HBRG including all those previously held on the database at IMAG. Assembly and mobilisation of this dataset has been funded by grants from Scottish Natural Heritage (now NatureScot) since 2004, and in some years by members of the Highland Biodiversity Partnership...
