Building Better Cities
Delivering Growth and Opportunities

Note: The statistics within this publication for Inverness are to be interpreted with caution. Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee all have clearly defined boundaries as Local Authority areas but Inverness does not. In this situation it is usual practice to aggregate up from smaller areas such as wards to best fit the settlement boundary.

This is an archived publication. The most recent statistics at a variety of geographical areas (including user defined areas) are available on Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics ( www.sns.gov.uk).
