The information includes:
* details of the threat, including assessments of the risk from chemical, biological and radiological attack;
* an analysis of the Gleneagles resort's vulnerable areas;
* maps showing the precise location of lines of reinforced fencing to keep out would-be suicide bombers and protesters;
* and aerial photographs of the estate marking likely terrorist targets.
