Participation in Cultural Activity
Participation in cultural activities in the last 12 months: comparison between Glasgow and Scotland
Reading for pleasure was the most common activity for both Glasgow (62%) and Scotland as a whole (66%). In Glasgow, this was followed by using a computer/social media to produce creative work of any kind (22%) and playing an instrument/writing music (15%).
Notes on data
It should be noted that many of the apparent differences in the figures between Glasgow and Scotland may not be significant due to the relatively small sample sizes of the survey data.
