Description
Settlements of Scotland are built-up areas which round to 500 people or more.
Statistics produced from this geography can be used to help understand the demographics of local communities.
National Records of Scotland (NRS), produces 2 datasets which are designed to show the boundaries of urban areas in Scotland: these datasets are Settlements and Localities.
Further details on settlements and localities, including the methodology, can be found in the Special Area Population Estimates: Settlements and Localities section of the NRS website.
