The decennial breakdown of grants and subsidies by each Rural Payment and Inspection Directorate Area office is in the following tables that should be read in conjunction with the following explanatory comments.
‘Highlands and Islands’ has been taken to mean all the parishes within the geographical boundary of the Highlands and Island constituency of The Scottish Parliament.
“…the last ten years…” has been taken to mean the most recent ten years for which data is available, which for expenditure funded by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) ends in 2013 and for the European Fund for Agricultural Rural Development ends in 2014.
The level of common agricultural funding varies according to the source of funding. Direct payments are fully funded (100%) from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund, whereas rural development funding from European Fund for Agricultural Rural Development involves a co-financing arrangement between the European Commission and the Scottish Government.
