A vibrating structure gyroscope includes a permanent magnet, a structure arranged in a magnetic field of the permanent magnet and arranged to vibrate under stimulation from at least one primary drive electrode and a drive system that includes: one primary drive electrode arranged at least one primary sense electrode arranged to sense motion in the vibrating structure and a drive control loop controlling the primary drive electrode dependent on the primary sense electrode. The structure also includes a compensation unit arranged to receive a signal from the drive system representative of a gain in the drive control loop and arranged to output a scale factor correction based on that signal. As the magnet degrades (e.g. naturally over time as the material ages), the magnetic field weakens. To compensate for this, the primary drive control loop will automatically increase the gain.
