Quite a noticeable east/west division there. Of course that's to be expected, I suppose.

So, then... other stuff...

Still some old fashioned rural depopulation in Galloway and around Hawick, which is interesting. Bute and parts of Argyll as well, although you miss that at first because it's right next to postindustrial depression pattern areas. Is that also what's going on in Angus?

Am truly stunned to see a positive score for the Doon Valley. Presumably all of that is up at its northern end and not towards the obviously dying town of Dalmellington?

It's also more 'useful' in that it's easier to understand its meaning if you're trying to get through the bloody form as quickly as possible; the range of possible interpretations of the other question is pretty high for something on a census form (making asking it a little questionable, but that's by the by).
