Scotland has a population of 5 to 5.5 million. About 4.5 million of those live ion the central belt - the bit between Edinburgh and Glasgow (the M8) or about 40-50 miles either side of this. The reason is that there are not that many jobs outside the remaining few "cities" (in reality large towns) such as Dundee, Aberdeen and Inverness. Once you pass Inverness going north towns are usually quite small.

I plan (hope) to go north when I retire as I won't need to travel for work.
