Mapping Styles and Plans References on the Cadastral Map
General
Polygons and lines created in the Plans Creator can be given different styles of references using the Classification & style panel - the polygons can be edged in different colours, or filled with solid colours (tints) or hatches, and the lines can be a choice of colours. To ensure that the cadastral map is as easily understandable as possible, it is important that consistent styles of mapping are used for the polygons and lines comprising each cadastral unit. It is also very important to remember that all plans references must be clearly visible and easily identifiable for our customers upon receiving a title sheet.
In order to achieve the desired level of consistency, this guidance section has been prepared to show you when the various styles are appropriate, the conventional hierarchy of references, and also some historical styles that are no longer appropriate for new titles.

Useful pointers
Do make use of the colour and style options available to us to produce a clear and understandable title plan
Don’t use edges for very narrow strips of land as they can look like a fill
Do keep the hierarchy of references in mind (see below) as this helps us produce a consistent product
Don’t use hatches for narrow strips as the diagonal hatching is often difficult to see clearly
Do consider using a grouping for some references if your title is complex
Don't use an edge on a polygon that has a narrow feature or secondary reference close to the polygon edge as this can be obscured
Do make sure your notes to legal are clear on what references you have used & why
Don’t make reference to an uncoloured portion of a cadastral unit or a hollow "for references only" polygon for the purpose of an entry on the title sheet.
Styles used to define and describe the extent of a cadastral unit.
There are four basic methods that are used to define and describe the extent of the cadastral unit being registered:
Red edging to reflect the precise extent of the cadastral unit.
Tinting to reflect the precise extent of the cadastral unit.
Red edging to reflect the extent of a tenement steading cadastral unit.
Tinting to reflect the extent of a tenement steading cadastral unit.
If there is any doubt about the most suitable style to use to represent your cadastral unit, consult your referral officer.
1 Red edging to reflect the precise extent of the cadastral unit
This style is most suited to house plots or smaller areas of land, with no areas of shared or common ownership. Often additional tints or hatches within the red edge are required for specific burdens references (see section, below).
The conventional method for referencing a cadastral unit is to give it a red edge following the internal edge of the boundaries of the cadastral unit. This method of referencing can be used to reference, for example, a detached or terraced house, a plot of garden ground, a unit in an industrial estate, a smaller rural property, or a common drying green in a shared plot title sheet - it can therefore be seen that this method can and should be used in the majority of applications.
Exceptions:
If the title being mapped includes areas of both exclusive ownership and common or shared ownership, tinting method should be used.
If the ownership polygon is affected by island sites that do not form part of the cadastral unit, tinting method should be used.
If the size or shape of the cadastral unit is so small or narrow that a red edge would look like a red fill when viewed or printed at the OS base map scale, tinting method should be used.
If a small or narrow tint reference close to the side of the cadastral unit would be obscured by a red edge, either tinting method or the use of a grouping should be considered.
Examples |
|
|---|---|
Example 1 Straightforward cadastral unit, no areas of common ownership, boundaries can be clearly seen when edged. Red edge is an appropriate reference style Polygon classified as Ownership- Exclusive |  |
Example 2 Irregular shaped cadastral unit, no areas of common ownership, boundaries can be clearly seen when edged. Red edge is an appropriate reference style Polygon classified as Ownership- Exclusive |
|
Example 3 Irregular shaped cadastral unit, no areas of common ownership, narrow sections mean the boundaries cannot be seen clearly when edged. Red edge is not an appropriate reference style. Instead the plans officer should use a tint reference. Polygon classified as Ownership- Exclusive | |
2 Tinting to reflect the precise extent of the cadastral unit
This style is most suited to irregularly shaped plots of land that do not edge well, plots that are very narrow, plots with island sites that do not form part of the cadastral unit, titles that also include areas of shared or common ownership, or for larger areas of land - tinting large titles rather than edging means that the viewer can always see they are within the title extent, even when viewing an area within the centre of the title that is distant from the outer boundaries. In addition, using tinting to show the extent of a large parent title can help on those occasions when a positive removal style is used to remove future Transfers of Part.
Uses:
If the property being registered includes common ownership of part of the property and the decision has been made to map the title under the transitional provisions in schedule 4 to the 2012 Act, tinting method should be used to provide separate plans references for the exclusive and common areas comprising the cadastral unit.
If the size or shape of the cadastral unit is so small or narrow that a red edge would look like a red fill when viewed or printed at the OS base map scale, then tinting method should be used.
If a small or narrow tint reference close to the side of the cadastral unit would be obscured by a red edge, either tinting method or the use of a grouping should be considered.
If the cadastral unit is very large, for example a future housing development or an extensive rural estate or farm, tinting method could be used to make it the extent clearer to the viewer when they zoom into an area within the title boundaries. This can also facilitate a positive removal style for future Transfers of Part from the parent title on those occasions that it is appropriate to use that style rather than green-edged removals.
If the cadastral unit is affected by island sites that do not form part of the cadastral unit, then tinting method should be used. The Cookie Cutter tool can be used to cut the island site out of the ownership polygon.
If the cadastral unit is very complex, the boundaries and extent may be more easily understood by the viewer if a tint reference is used rather than a red edge.
If the property being registered includes common ownership of part of the property and the decision has been made to map the title under the transitional provisions in schedule 4 to the 2012 Act, tinting method should be used to provide separate plans references for the exclusive and common areas comprising the cadastral unit.
Examples |
|
|---|---|
Example 1 This cadastral unit is being mapped under the transitional provisions, comprising the house tinted pink, a 1/6th share in the drying area tinted blue & a half share in the coal shed tinted brown. Using tints is an appropriate reference style.
| |
Example 2 This cadastral unit comprises the house & garden plot tinted pink and blue, with a servitude right of access over the path tinted brown. The subjects are burdened by a servitude right of access over the path tinted blue. (Tip: remember, narrow strips are best shown with tint references rather than hatches or edges). Using a red edge for the house and garden plot would obscure the narrow blue tint at the edge of the subjects that are burdened by a servitude, therefore using a tint for the house & garden plot is the appropriate reference style.
(Tip: Remember the property description in the title sheet should reflect the visual picture of the cadastral unit - so in this case, “cadastral unit xxx …..tinted pink and blue on the cadastral map”). |
|
This cadastral unit is a reasonably large area of ground including some units on an industrial estate. As there is a small, narrow island site within the plot that does not form part of the cadastral unit, using a tint is the appropriate reference style. (Tip: remember, island sites should be cut out of the larger polygon using the Cookie Cutter tool). In addition, should parts of the cadastral unit be sold off in the future, the tinting method will make it easier to use a positive removal style for the Transfers of Part. Polygon classified as Ownership-Exclusive. | |
This is a shared plot cadastral unit for common areas in a development. Due to the irregular shape of the polygon with some narrow sections and multiple island sites, using a tint is the appropriate reference style. (Tip: remember, island sites should be cut out of the larger polygon using the Cookie Cutter tool). Polygon classified as Ownership-Exclusive. | |
3 Red edging to reflect the extent of a tenement steading cadastral unit
This style is most suited to non-development tenements.
Section 16 of the 2012 Act allows the Keeper to create a single cadastral unit for a tenement steading. Each flat or unit within that tenement steading cadastral unit will have its own unique title sheet, and will be described in that title sheet as being a flat or unit that forms part of the tenement steading cadastral unit. See the Tenement Scenarios page for examples.
The conventional method for referencing a tenement steading cadastral unit is to give it a red edge following the internal edge of the boundaries of the cadastral unit. In the same way as with non-tenement cadastral units (see section 1, above), there are exceptions to when a red edge is appropriate.
Exceptions:
If the tenement steading polygon is affected by island sites that do not form part of the cadastral unit, tinting method should be used.
If the size or shape of the tenement steading cadastral unit is so small or narrow that a red edge would look like a red fill when viewed or printed at the OS base map scale, tinting method should be used.
Often the Keeper is given sufficient information in an application to register a flat or unit within a tenement so that plans references can be provided for areas of common or exclusive ownership, rights or pertinents within the tenement steading. These plans references will not be shown on the primary layer of the cadastral map because the cadastral unit represents the whole tenement and not just one flat within it. Instead, a grouping will be created to show those references as supplementary data. Tinting method will normally be used to show the plans references in the grouping, although hatches and edges may also be appropriate depending on the complexity of the title.
Examples |
|
|---|---|
Example 1 Straightforward tenement steading cadastral unit, verbal description of flat extent, boundaries of cadastral unit can be clearly seen when edged. Red edge is an appropriate reference style, mapped on the primary ungrouped layer of the cadastral map. Polygon classified as Tenement Steading. | |
Example 2 Straightforward tenement steading cadastral unit, boundaries of cadastral unit can be clearly seen when edged. Red edge is an appropriate reference style, mapped on the primary ungrouped layer of the cadastral map. Polygon classified as Tenement Steading.
The application includes a description of the flat extent, garden and common areas by reference to a deed plan. A mixture of tints, edges or hatches can be used for the references, mapped in a grouping containing supplementary data. In this particular example, due to the small or narrow shape of some of these, not all references would suit an edge or hatch.

4 Tinting to reflect the extent of a tenement steading cadastral unit.
This style is most suited to tenements in developments where a deed of conditions describes rights and burdens that are common to more than the single tenement building, thus resulting in a larger, more complex tenement steading cadastral unit. In addition, this style can be used when a tenement steading polygon is affected by island sites that do not form part of the cadastral unit, or when the size or shape of the tenement steading polygon is so small or narrow that a red edge would look like a red fill when viewed or printed at the OS base map scale.
Section 16 of the 2012 Act allows the Keeper to create a single cadastral unit for a tenement steading. Each flat or unit within that tenement steading cadastral unit will have its own unique title sheet, and will be described in that title sheet as being a flat or unit that forms part of the tenement steading cadastral unit. See the Tenement Scenarios page for examples.
Often the Keeper is given sufficient information in an application to register a flat or unit within a tenement so that plans references can be provided for areas of common or exclusive ownership, rights or pertinents within the tenement steading. These plans references will not be shown on the primary layer of the cadastral map because the cadastral unit represents the whole tenement and not just one flat within it. Instead, a grouping will be created to show those references as supplementary data. Tinting method will normally be used to show the plans references in the grouping, although hatches and edges may also be appropriate depending on the complexity of the title.
Examples |
|
|---|---|
Example 1 This is a tenement steading cadastral unit for a flat in a block in a development. The tenement steading extent includes the block, the exclusive areas pertaining to the flats in that block, and also the common areas pertaining to the flats in the block. As a separate tenement steading is required for each block, the other blocks plus all parking spaces, etc pertaining to those other blocks must be omitted from the tenement steading extent. In this example, these are mapped as island sites. Using a tint makes it much easier to tell which areas are included and which are excluded in the tenement steading cadastral unit than if red edges had been used. (Tip: remember, island sites should be cut out of the larger polygon using the Cookie Cutter tool). Due to the complex shape and multiple island sites, tinting method is the appropriate mapping style, mapped on the primary ungrouped layer of the cadastral map. Polygon classified as Tenement Steading.
The application also includes a description of the block extent, garden and common areas by reference to a deed plan; the flat is described verbally within the block. A mixture of tints, edges or hatches can be used for the references, mapped in a grouping containing supplementary data. Remember, if there are small or narrow shapes, not all references will suit an edge or hatch.
|
|
Example 2 Restricted tenement steading cadastral unit for first flat being registered in a block, full block extent not established. Boundaries of cadastral unit cannot be clearly seen when edged and viewed at OS map base scale, therefore tinting method should be used. The tinted reference is mapped on the primary ungrouped layer of the cadastral map. Polygon classified as Tenement Steading.
The application includes a description of the flat extent, garden and common areas by reference to a deed plan. A mixture of tints, edges or hatches can be used for the references, mapped in a grouping containing supplementary data. Remember, if there are small or narrow shapes, not all references will suit an edge or hatch.

Styles used to provide references for burdens, etc affecting the whole cadastral unit
When the whole of the subjects being registered are affected by, for example, a burden, lease or a standard security, there is no need to provide a separate duplicate plans reference for that secondary attribute. The ownership polygon will be mapped, styled and classified appropriately as ownership (see sections, above on the different mapping styles for ownership), and that style will be referred to in the property section of the title sheet. The legal settler will ensure the burden, security, etc are entered and described appropriately in the title sheet so that it is clear that the whole subjects are affected.
Styles used to provide references for burdens, removals, etc affecting areas smaller than the cadastral unit
There are many applications for registration where the plans officer will need to provide a reference for an area of ground, smaller than the full extent of the ownership, that is affected by a burden, the burden of a servitude, a removed area (TP), a standard security, an exclusion from warranty, etc.
The full extent of ownership in a title must be classified as ownership.
If a polygon represents both ownership and a burden or other subordinate right, the classification of ownership takes priority.
If a smaller polygon layered over a larger ownership polygon is used to represent a burden or other subordinate right, the classification of the smaller layered polygon will be burden or other appropriate classification.
Remember, the property section description in the title sheet must reflect the visual representation of the cadastral unit though. So if the whole ownership extent is edged red, describe it as edged red. However if the ownership is tinted pink with a smaller blue tinted burdens ref on top, then describe it as tinted pink and blue.
The ownership polygon(s) in your title will normally either be edged red or tinted with a solid colour (see guidance on mapping ownership, above). To show a smaller plans reference that affects part of the ownership extent, the plans officer has four basic styles that they can use, giving you a lot of flexibility to choose the most appropriate styles for your particular title:
Use a (different) coloured edge
Use a (different) coloured tint
Use a coloured hatch
Use a grouping
If there is any doubt about the most suitable style to use to represent the smaller plans reference affecting your cadastral unit, consult your referral officer.
Edges - double edging?
Previously, in the DMS, it was possible to stack edges that followed the same line by altering their width or “flipping” their orientation. These functions are no longer available in the Plan Creator. The Edge Stacker Tool has been developed to allow this style to be continued for historic titles when it is not possible to re-map them using groupings, etc. It also allows us to continue to use the green out removal style when mapping Parent titles. Apart from these parent title removal references, no new title should be mapped with double or stacked edges.
When the secondary plans reference follows or lies close to the boundary of a red-edged ownership polygon, to avoid creating double or stacked edge references in the Plan Creator, appropriate use of other references or groupings should be used.
When the secondary plans reference lies wholly within and does not come close to the boundary of a red-edged ownership polygon, a differently coloured edge may be used if the result is a clear and easily understood cadastral unit.
Edges to reflect removals on Parent Titles
Edging and numbering in green, known as greening-out, is often used for referencing the extent of new cadastral units that have been removed from a larger cadastral unit (Parent Title), and whose whole interests have been transferred to other title sheets. When green edged polygons have been added to a Parent Title to reflect the extent of the removals, the double-edging will not be visible on the Parent Title in the Plan Viewer, but they will be visible on the PDF print generated due to the automatic application of the Edge Stacking tool.
In this Parent Title example, green edges (green-outs) are used to reflect the 3 house plots that have been sold out of the development so far. In the Plan Viewer, the result is double adjoining green edges and a partially obscured red edge. This will be clearer, however, when a PDF print is generated due to the automatic application of the Edge Stacker tool. | |
Double-layering of tints?
If tinting method has been used for the ownership polygon(s), but another polygon is needed to show a smaller secondary reference, the plans officer can chose between edged, hatched or differently tinted styles for that smaller reference. (Examples of stacked or layered tints, and of adjacent tints are provided here - examples of alternative combinations of tints, hatches and edges for the smaller secondary reference are provided in the Examples section, below).
Previously, when mapping on the DMS, tinted polygons were placed adjacent to each other and were not layered. This practice continues for operational reasons in some TP teams, but has been replaced elsewhere. With the introduction of the Plan Creator, the new practice of double-layering or stacking differently-classified tints became available to us and should be used when mapping new titles using the tinting method, other than in those TP teams where local agreed practice differs. Examples of both styles are given below.
a. Double-layering/stacking tints
The key things to remember if double-layering or stacking tints are that:
we now use a full extent polygon for the ownership, with a smaller layer on top for the secondary reference,
appropriate classification is applied to each polygon, and
the written description of ownership in the title sheet must reflect the visual picture.
In this example, the area categorised as ownership is tinted pink with a smaller blue-tinted polygon categorised as burden layered on top of it. In the property section description in the title sheet, the cadastral unit is described as tinted pink and blue on the cadastral map.
Care should be taken that the correct render order is used so that the smaller secondary polygon is layered on top of the larger one, otherwise the secondary reference will not be visible.
|
|
b. Adjacent tints
The key things to remember if using adjoining tints are that:
the adjacent tinted polygons must not overlap,
where a polygon represents both ownership or other subordinate right, the classification of ownership takes priority, and
the written description of ownership in the title sheet must reflect the visual picture.
In this example, the area categorised as ownership is tinted pink and yellow. The smaller area tinted yellow is affected by a standard security and requires a separate reference. However, this area should not be classified as security as the ownership classification takes priority. In the property section description in the title sheet, the cadastral unit is described as tinted pink and yellow on the cadastral map.
Care should be taken if the separate tint for the burden or other subordinate right is no longer required. In this example, if the yellow tinted polygon is deleted, then the extent of the ownership is reduced - instead, if the yellow reference is no longer required for the security, that polygon should be incorporated into the main pink tint reference (the merge function in Plan Creator may be useful in such scenarios). |
|
Double-layering of hatches?
Although a hatched polygon can be shown on top of a tinted polygon or within an edged polygon, hatches should not overlap with other hatches.
The background to a hatch is transparent allowing an underlying tint colour to show through. However, the lines comprising the hatch pattern in one polygon will always sit on top of the lines comprising the hatch pattern in a lower polygon, meaning that only the top hatch will be seen by our customers when viewed in a pdf file showing their cadastral unit. Therefore, double-layering of hatches should not be used.
In this example, there are hatched polygons shown on top of a tinted polygon. In principle this is fine, except that the hatches also sit on top of other hatches making the extent of the various references unclear. When viewed in the pdf or as a paper print:
| |
Edging a tinted polygon?
Occasionally, you may have a polygon that needs to be tinted and edged (or hatched and edged). For example, your cadastral unit comprises several discrete areas and you are using tinting method for extent, so the ownership polygons are tinted pink. You then need to provide two separate burdens references for two of those pink tinted polygons. In situations such as these, when a tint and an edge, or a hatch and an edge, are required for the same area, these should be created as two separate stacked polygons. This allows any additional references affecting the area to be shown correctly (i.e. layered above the tint but below the edge), and for the different classifications to be applied to each polygon. The render order rules within the Plan Creator should ensure that the polygons are layered in the correct order (tint under edge), however it is advisable to double check this by generating a PDF print to ensure all references are visible.
Example 1 In this example, the cadastral unit comprises three polygons edged red and classified as ownership. A separate reference is required for a burden that affects only one of the three polygons. This is created as a separate polygon that is tinted yellow, layered under the edged ownership polygon, and classified as burden. |
|
|
Example 2 In this example, the cadastral unit is a large farm comprising multiple polygons, 3 of which are shown here. Tinting method has been used with the cadastral unit being tinted pink and classified as ownership. A separate reference is required for a standard security that affects only one of these three polygons. This is created as a separate polygon that is edged brown, layered on top of the tinted ownership polygon, and classified as security. |
|
|
Example 3 In this example, which is a variation on example 2, the cadastral unit is a large farm comprising multiple polygons, 3 of which are shown here. Tinting method has been used with the cadastral unit being tinted pink and classified as ownership. Two separate references are required for two separate burdens deeds that affect two of these three polygons. If many other plans references are needed in this title, the plans officer may wish to consider using numbered edges for similar types of deeds that affect. This can produce a clearer visual representation of the overall title. When various edges, hatches and tints have been used in other parts of a large, complex title such as this, groupings could be used as an alternative to the numbered edges. Here, the two burdens have been created as separate polygons that have been edged and numbered in brown, layered on top of the tinted ownership polygons, and classified as burdens. |
|
|
Examples
Here are some further examples showing how the various options of reference styles and colours can be combined, with guidance on how classifications should be applied and how the property section description for the title sheet should be written.
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
Example 1 A red edged polygon was originally used to define the extent of the cadastral unit. Further decisions mean that a separate burdens reference was required for the area of ground at the rear, so a new polygon was created and tinted blue. The extent of the original red edged polygon should be retained, and classified as ownership, with the blue tinted polygon (classified as burden) layered beneath the red edged polygon. The property description in the title sheet will read "Subjects.....edged red on the cadastral map"
If the title was bit more complex, with other plans references required, it may also have been appropriate to use another colour tint instead of blue for the burdens reference (see Hierarchy of Colours, below), or a coloured hatch could also have worked in this example.
| | |
Example 2 A red edged polygon was originally used to define the extent of the cadastral unit. A further application to register a deed of servitude means that a separate burdens reference is required for the access track crossing the cadastral unit. This is a good example of how to make the correct decision on what is the best combination of references to use.
So the option we have left that is appropriate is that the colour and style of the ownership reference should be changed to a pink tint and classified as ownership, with the blue tinted polygon (classified as burden) layered on top of the pink tinted polygon. The property description in the title sheet will need to be updated to read "Subjects.....tinted pink and blue on the cadastral map"
If the title was more complex, with other plans references required, it may also have been appropriate to consider using a grouping for the burden of the servitude. More details on when the use of groupings in complex titles can be found on Groupings . |
|
|
Example 3 In this example, we demonstrate three acceptable styles for the same secondary reference - the one most appropriate to the particular title and other references already being used should be adopted. An ownership polygon is created, tinted pink, and classified as ownership. A secondary reference for an agricultural standard security that partly affects the ownership area is required. Conventionally, a brown edge would be used for a security reference, however in large and complex titles, other options may need to be considered if multiple plans references are required. In this example, it could be:
If the title was more complex, with other plans references required, it may also have been appropriate to consider using a grouping for the burden of the servitude. More details on when the use of groupings in complex titles can be found on Groupings . |

Hierarchy of plans references for polygons
Please note, in addition to the rules and guidelines set out on this page, there are also rules built into the Plan Creator for the render order of different types of plans reference - see Plan Creator Render Order Rules for details.
Over the years, a conventional order for the use of plans references in given circumstances has been developed and these principles should be observed to maintain consistency. Although there will be titles where we have to use a different combination of colours and styles for particular types of references due to complexity, etc, our customers are used to the conventional styles so we should use them whenever possible.
The following are used in general practice: -
(a) Coloured tinting
This is the most common method used for additional plans references (please note, the colours are listed alphabetically, not in order of importance).
Tint | Use |
|---|---|
blue |
|
brown |
|
green | Can be used for referencing small areas but only once the other tint colours have already been used (except red which is generally the final tint reference to be used) |
mauve |
|
pink |
|
red | Can be used for referencing small areas but only if no red edge has been used and only once other tint references have already been used (red is generally the final tint reference to be used) |
yellow |
|
Whether or not the above guidelines can be adhered to, the main point to remember is that the tints must be clearly visible and understandable.
Set styles have been prepared by Legal staff for use in cases where the property falls within a Scottish Homes Deed of Conditions. In such cases mauve is used for tinting garage forecourts only and a mauve tint should not be used for any other reference in these applications.
You should never make a specific reference to an uncoloured portion of a cadastral unit or a hollow "for references only" polygon for the purpose of an entry on the title sheet.
Red edging with island sites tinted green should no longer be used when mapping titles in the Plan Creator. This was a historic DMS mapping practice that evolved because island sites could not be "cut out" of a polygon in the DMS. In the Plan Creator, the polygon should be tinted and the island sites cut out using the Cookie Cutter tool.
(b) Coloured edging
This style is mostly used for additional plans references on large titles or historic Parent Titles but can also serve as a useful alternative to tints.
Edge | Use |
|---|---|
green | Edging and numbering in green is used for referencing the extent of the cadastral units (TPs) that have been removed from a larger cadastral unit (Parent Title), and whose whole interests have been transferred to other title sheets. This is the most common style for referencing removals, although some TPs are removed from Parent Titles using the positive mapping style where the TP is cut out of the Parent Title thus reducing its extent. |
blue | a. Edging and numbering in blue was historically used for referencing the extent of the feudal superiority interest remaining in a Parent Title after parts had been feued out. |
yellow | Edging and numbering in yellow is used for referencing the extent of the subjects that have been leased from a larger cadastral unit (Landlord's title), with the tenant's interest in those subjects being transferred to another title sheet (Tenant's title). |
brown & mauve | a. Edging (and numbering) in mauve is used for referencing part of a cadastral unit that is affected by an Entry in the Schedule of Monuments. b. Edging in brown is used for referencing the extent of Deeds of Conditions. c. Edging and numbering in brown or mauve is used for referencing part of a cadastral unit that is affected by any deed other than a Lease. For example, a Standard Security of Part (brown or mauve) or a Discharge of Part (brown or mauve). d. Edging and numbering in brown can also be used to identify different roots of title where the legal officer requires these references. |
