SettlementsIn Scotland, settlement refers to a "collection of contiguous high density postcodes bounded by low density postcodes whose population was 500 or more". For example the area of Ayr includes the adjoining localities of Ayr and Prestwick.[1] However, most settlements coincide to a single locality.[1] Rank | Urban sub-area | Population | Localities | Council areas | 1 | Greater Glasgow}} | 976,970 | Barrhead, Bearsden, Bishopbriggs, Bowling, Busby, Cambuslang, Clarkston, Clydebank, Duntocher and Hardgate, Elderslie, Faifley, Giffnock, Glasgow, Johnstone, Kilbarchan, Linwood, Milngavie, Netherlee, Newton Mearns, Old Kilpatrick, Paisley, Renfrew, Rutherglen, Stepps and Thornliebank | Glasgow City, West Dunbartonshire, East Dunbartonshire, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire |
