Schottland in Listen: Liste der größten schottischen Localities
Schottland ist bezüglich der Verwaltungsordnung in vielerlei Hinsicht anders aufgestellt als etwa Deutschland. So scheint es für die Schotten nicht so sinnvoll, von der 'größten' Stadt zu sprechen. Hier geht man eher auf so genannte Localities, die am Ende so etwas ähnliches wie Städte mit dazugehörigen eingemeindeten Orten sind. Ballungszentren sind es vielleicht nicht in jedem Fall. Gem. Defintion handelt es sich bei Localities um bewohnte Regionen mit zusammenhängenden Postleitzahlenbereichen und einer Gesamtpopulation von mindestens 500. Soweit, so unklar.
Nachstehend eine Liste mit Localities > 15.000 Einwohner.
