Inverness Population
Hi there,

The list of towns and cities in Scotland page uses population figures for all Scottish towns and cities from the same source (GRO Scotland localities mid 2010) in order to allow an accurate comparison between localities using the same definition of an urban area.

If you change the population figure of one town or city (in this case Inverness) to a number sourced from a different source then it is no longer comparable with the others. The figure you keep changing Inverness to (57,960)is the GRO Scotland mid 2010 population estimate for the Settlement of Inverness including Culloden.

We could change all the numbers on this list to be the settlement figures which are available here: http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/statistics/theme/population/estimates/special-area/settlements-localities/mid-2010/tables.html Or we could try and incorporate these figures as an alternative source /additional column etc.

What we can't do is just change the population figure for a single town/city without changing the others.

The main reason we have tended to use the Locality figures rather than the Settlement ones is that the Greater Glasgow settlement incorporates a number of the localities on the list (47 localities in total including 17 from this list: Glasgow, Paisley, Coatbridge, Airdrie, Rutherglen, Motherwell, Wishaw, Clydebank, Bearsden, Cambuslang, Newton Mearns, Bishopbriggs, Renfrew, Bellshill, Barrhead, Viewpark, Johnstone) and all these towns (except Glasgow) would need to be missed off the list if we used only settlement populations. It would also lead to dropping Musselburgh, Grangemouth and Blantyre as they are incorporated into Edinburgh, Falkirk and Hamilton.

This would make the list significantly less useful as many of these are distinctive communities in their own right.

If you think any of these changes have merit in future please discuss on the article's talk page. Cheers Andrewdpcotton (talk) 12:39, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
