What is the largest city in Scotland?

• A. Edinburgh
• B. Glasgow
• C. Aberdeen
• D. Dundee

Answer: (B)

This question asks which city has the most people living in it within its official city limits in Scotland. Glasgow is the largest by that measure, with around six hundred thousand residents in its city boundaries, more than Edinburgh, Aberdeen, or Dundee. Edinburgh is a major capital and cultural center, but its city population is smaller. Aberdeen and Dundee have even fewer residents within their city limits. So Glasgow is the best answer when asking for the largest city by population within city borders. If you were thinking about the broader metropolitan area, Glasgow’s urban area is also among the largest in Scotland, but the city-proper size still makes Glasgow the top choice.
