  • Asva Visitor Trend Report - January 2011/2012
    ASVA VISITOR TREND REPORT - JANUARY 2011/2012 OVERVIEW Visitor figures for January 2011/2012 were received from 215 sites. 10 sites requested confidentiality, and although their numbers have been included in the calculations, they do not appear in the tables below. 75 sites noted that they were closed for the season. The Riverside Museum in Glasgow was not open in 2010 so their figures for 2011 are shown in the table below for reference but have not been included in the calculation. And following discussion with colleagues, we have published the 2010 and 2011 figures for the National Museum of Scotland but these have not been included in the calculations. The reason for this decision is that the site was only partially open in 2010 whilst it was undergoing major refurbishment and upgrade, prior to the re-opening of the whole site in the summer of 2011. As can be seen, the total increase in visitor numbers is just under 300%, and to include these considerable numbers in the calculations would skew the national figure (see below). In addition, there are 6 sites for which there was no comparable data Comparable data was therefore received from 134 sites. The total number of visits recorded in January 2011 was 788,707 this compares with 733,699 in 2010 and indicates an increase of 7.5%. January 2012 had much better overall weather conditions than 2011 which saw widespread disruption because of low temperatures, sleet and snow. It was a relatively mild month, although the start of the month carried over some stormy conditions from December.

As the Eirst Edition of this work was evidently an object of much satisfaction to the Author, and as its authority has been recognised by its being used so freely by later writers, I have felt in preparing this Second Edition that I was acting under a weighty responsibility both to the public and to Mr. Jervise's memory. Many fields have presented themselves for independent research, but as the plan of the work and its limits belonged to the author and not to the editor, I did not feel justified in materially altering either of them.
