The 25 largest metro-areas and localities in Scotland are shown on the map. And in a chart flanking the map, their populations are listed. All SPFL clubs (SPFL Premiership [1], SPFL Championship [2], SPFL League One [3], SPFL League Two [4]), from those 25 localities, are also listed there (see below, C.).
