Everything about The Central Belt totally explained
The
Central Belt of
Scotland is a common term used to describe the area of highest population density within Scotland. Despite the name, it isn't geographically "central", but in fact in the south of the country.
It was formerly known as the "Midlands" or "Scottish Midlands", but this term has fallen out of fashion.
The Central Belt lies between the
Highlands to the north and the
Southern Uplands to the south.
Smaller Central Belt
The area is often considered as a strip following the
M8 and
M9 motorways stretching from
Greenock and
Glasgow in the west to
Edinburgh in the east, encompassing towns such as
Paisley,
Cambuslang,
Hamilton,
Stirling,
Falkirk,
Livingston and
Linlithgow.
Larger Central Belt
The larger Central Belt is a trapezoid stretching from
Dundee, to
Ayr, and
Dumbarton to
Dunbar. This also takes in fairly densely populated areas such as
Ayrshire,
Fife,
Midlothian and
East Lothian. This area encompasses all the major cities of Scotland, except for
Aberdeen and
Inverness which are located in the North of the country.
Both of these areas also contain the bulk of Scotland's industrial works.
