This has not previously been an issue and could potentially have been introduced with the clipping of data? The boundary data sets should have a service area for all of Scotland. Whether it is health boundary data set of local council authorities. For a location in Scotland, the appropriate service area should be returned.
Another potential option would be that some locations aren't in Scotland so are therefore not appearing within Scottish boundary data sets.
Began printing out locations which aren't matched to service areas and noticing a trend of them being at the edge of boundaries for example coastlines which are more likely to be lost in lower resolution geospatial data.
Also found locations that when searched with google maps appear to be off the coast and in water or outside Scotland (London for example).
Could add an extra variable which would be the unmatched locations to get a better understanding of the locations which aren't being recorded.
Merged into master
There have been instances where a location longitude is used to search the features of a data sets and no matches have been returned.
