This dataset represents the thickness in metres of the Upper Devonian in the Midland Valley of Scotland (Stratheden Group and Kinnesswood Formation) over the extent of the model developed by Kearsey, T.I., Receveur, M. and Monaghan, A.A., 2024. Modelled hot sedimentary aquifer geothermal potential of Upper Devonian strata in the Midland Valley of Scotland. Uncertainties in the model are linked to the absence of boreholes penetrating both the top and the base of the Upper Devonian (except the Inch of Ferryton well) and poor seismic reflection data in the centre of the basin where it is thickest and deepest. The extent of the geological units is as shown on the published BGS geology maps, considering the re-interpretation of the Kinnesswood Formation as Devonian in age. The model is presented with high uncertainty.
