# Lijst van steden in Schotland

Dit is een lijst van steden en plaatsen in Schotland met meer dan 15.000 inwoners. De National Records of Scotland maakt hierbij onderscheid tussen localities en settlements. Localities zijn steden en plaatsen op zichzelf, terwijl settlements aaneengesloten stedelijke gebieden zijn die uit meerdere plaatsen kunnen bestaan. Alle localities zijn dus ofwel een settlement op zichzelf ofwel onderdeel van een settlement. In 2020 zijn er 656 localities en 514 settlements in Schotland.
