Glasgow’s population is the largest of all Scottish cities. The populations of Glasgow and Edinburgh are more than double those of Aberdeen and Dundee.

Notes

It is worth noting that these city populations are based on local authority boundaries and thus do not reflect the size of the wider surrounding conurbation for each city. For example, the Greater Glasgow and Clyde population is 1.2 million, and using a wider definition of the Glasgow conurbation, encompassing the West of Scotland and including Lanarkshire and parts of Ayrshire, would bring the population to above 2 million.
