Population of the Counties of Scotland.

Aberdeen.— In 1911 the population of the County of Aberdeen amounted to 312,177; it is now found to be 300,980, which is 11,197 or 3.6 per cent. less. Notwithstanding this loss of population, Aberdeen remains the third most populous county in Scotland. The total burghal population is found to be 187,455, which is 6,081 or 3.1 per cent. less than in 1911, while the total extraburghal population is found to be 113,525, which is 5,116 or 4.3 per cent. less than in that year. Of the burghs in this county, Ballater is the only one showing an increase of population, its population now being 1,542 as against 1,240 in 1911. All other burghs show a decrease. Of the eight county districts (burghs excluded) in this county, all show a diminution of population, the largest decreases being 1,263 in Deer, and 922 in Garioch. Of the 85 parishes in this county, 66 are found to have lost population, and 16 to have gained, while one parish, Dyce, shows no change. The only parishes which have gained to the extent of 5 per cent. are Birse, Crathie and Braemar, Glenmuick Tullich and Glengairn, Kincardine O'Neil, Logie-Buchan, Old Machar and Udny; while on the other hand, 20 parishes have lost 10 per cent. or more of their population. The male population of the county shows a decrease of 6,364 and the female population one of 4,833.

The City of Aberdeen which is situated partly in the County of Aberdeen and partly in the County of Kincardine is found to have a population of 158,969, which is 4,922 or 3.0 per cent. less than in 1911. Males in the population of the City of Aberdeen number 72,734 and females 86,235, males being 2,251 and females 2,671 less than in 1911. The female population numbers 13,501 or 18.6 more than the male population. In 1911 females out-numbered males by 13,921 or 18.6 per cent.

Argyll.— The population of Argyll is found to be 76,856, of whom 35,684 are males and 41,172 females, This population is 5,954 or 8.4 per cent. more than in 1911. The increase of population is found not to be common to the entire county, but to be restricted to small portions thereof. Thus the population of the Parish of Dunoon and Kilmun shows an increase of 9,515 or 93.0 per cent. over the 1911 figure, while that of the Burgh of Dunoon (situated within that parish) shows an increase of 7,876 or 114.8 per cent. The county population less that of the Parish of Dunoon and Kilmun shows a loss of 3,561, the male population being 3,692 less, but the female population is 131 more than in 1911. There are six burghs in this county, three of which, viz.:—Dunoon, Lochgilphead and Oban, show increases of population, while the remaining three, Campbeltown, Inveraray and Tobermory, show decreases. The population of. Inveraray, now found to be the second least populous burgh in Scotland, is now 490. Of the county districts, two, viz.:—Cowal and Kintyre, show increases, while the remaining five show decreases. Insular parishes of this county are found collectively to have a population of 12,618, which is 1,225 or 8.8 per cent. less than in 1911.

The distribution of the intercensal change of population, one showing that the increase is almost entirely confined to certain districts of the county while decreases are general elsewhere, combined with the fact that the places where the increases are found are those to which town populations go for summer quarters, irresistbly points to the conclusion that the recorded increase in the total population of the county may be attributed to the time of the year at which the Census was taken, rather than to a true increase. It is probable that had the Census been taken in the month of April as originally intended, the population of this county would have shown a decrease instead of an increase.

Ayr.— In this county, as in the case of Argyll, the population on Census Day was without doubt influenced by the postponed Census Day. The population of the county is found to be 299,254, which is 30,917 or 11.5 per cent. in excess of what it was in 1911. Of the total population, 143,039 were males and 156,2l5 females, the former being 12,843, and the latter 18,074, in excess of the 1911 figures. This county now takes the fourth place in Scotland in order of magnitude of population, Lanark, Midlothian and Aberdeen being the only other counties with greater population. In 1911, it took the sixth place, Forfar and Renfrew both at that time being more populous. The burghal population of the county has increased since 1911 from 141,726 to 167,439, and the extraburghal population from 126,611 to 131,815, the former increase amounting to 26,713 or 18.1 per cent., and the latter to 5,204 or 4.1 per cent. The burghs in which the largest intercensal increases of population are found include Largs, 5,726 or 153.8 per cent.; Saltcoats, 4,892 or 57.0 per cent.; Prestwick, 3,637 or 74.5 per cent.; Troon, 2,846 or 42.9 per cent.; Girvan, 2,799 or 62.6 per cent.; and Ayr, 2,755 or 8.4 per cent. The Burghs of Newmilns and Greenholm, Maybole, Darvel and Galston, all show decreased populations. All the four county districts show an increase of population. In the Northern District it amounts to 2,978 or 6.3 per cent., in Carrick to 1,055 or 8.1 per cent., in Kilmarnock to 863 or 3.6 per cent., and in Ayr to 308 or 0.7 per cent. The parishes in this county which show an increase of 20 per cent. or more, include Largs, the pou1ation of which exhibits an increase of 6,608 or 109.6 per cent., Ardrossan 4,797 or 40.9 per cent., Dundonald 4,455 or 32.1 per cent., Monkton and Prestwick 3,787 or 67.1 per cent., Girvan 3,143 or 59.0 per cent., Stevenston 2,457 or 22.9 per cent., West Kilbride 1,464 or 46.3 per cent., and Kirkoswald 564 or 33.5 per cent. This county contains two of the larger Scottish burghs, i.e. burghs with over 30,000 population, these being Ayr and Kilmarnock. Ayr is found to have a population of 35,741 and Kilmarnock one of 35,756. In 1911 Ayr had a population of 32,986 and Kilmarnock one of 34,728.

Banff.— The population of Banff is ascertained to be 57,293, which is 4,109 or 6.7 per cent. less than in 1911. The male population, which is 27,382, shows a decrease of 2,373, and the female population which amounts to 29,911 shows a decrease of 1,736. The total burghal population of the county is 1,545 or 4.8 per cent. less than in 1911, and the total extraburghal population is 2,564 or 8.7 per cent. less. There are eleven burghs within this county and all of them show decreases of population, the largest decreases being those in Banff 304 or 8.0 per cent., in Keith 229 or 5.1 per cent., and in Portsoy 228 or 11.7 per cent. The County District of Banff shows a decrease of 7.2 per cent. and that of Keith one of 10.8 per cent. Each of the parishes in the county also shows a decrease. The Parish of Rathven is 591 less than in 1911, Gamrie 435, Keith 390, Banff 377, and Fordyce 345 less.

Berwick.— The population of the County of Berwick is found to have fallen from 29,643 to 28,395, a decrease of 1,248 or 4.2 per cent. The decrease of population is common both to the burghs taken collectively and to the extraburghal districts. The burghal population is reduced by 157 or 2.4 per cent. and the extraburghal by 1,091 or 4.7 per cent. Each of the three county districts shows a decrease, the East District having fallen from 9,017 to 8,893, the Middle District from 8,365 to 7,723, and the West District from 5,706 to 5,380. The only parish in this county which, shows any substantial increase of population is Coldingham, the population there having risen from 2,749 to 2,980. On the other hand, the Parish of Dims has lost 224 or 7.4 per cent., Eccles 204 or 14.1. per cent., Coldstream 179 or 8.2 per cent., and Edrom 150 or 11.8 per cent.

Bute.— Of all the county populations in Scotland, this is the one that has been the most profoundly affected by the change of. date of the Census. By the Census of 1911, which was taken early in the month of April, the population was ascertained to be 18,186, of whom 8,009 were males and 10,177 were females, but by this Census, which was taken in the middle of the month of June, the total population was found to amount to 33,711, of whom 13,914 were males and 19,797 were females, and thus the recorded intercensal increase of population is 15,625 or no less than 85.4 per cent. By this Census the female population of the county is found to exceed the entire population in 1911. Every burgh, every county district, and every civil parish within the county shows an increased population. There are two burghs in the county, Millport and Rothesay. The population of the former is found to have risen from 1,614 to 5,834, an increase of 4,220 or 261.5 per cent., while that of Rothesay is found to have risen from 9,299 to 15,218, an increase of 5,919 or 63.7 per cent.

Caithness.— The population of this county is found to have fallen from 32,010 to 28,284, a decrease of 3,726 or 11.6 per cent. This population is smaller than at any Census since 1811. The male population shows an intercensal decrease of 1681, and the female population one of 2,045. The populations of the two burghs in this county, and of the ten parishes therein, in every case show a decrease, the largest relative decreases being one of 18.4 per cent. in the Parish of Olrig, 16.4 per cent. in the Parish of Reay, 15.9 per cent. in the Parish of Bower, 14.8 per cent. in the Parish of Canisbay, and 14.4 per cent. in the Parish of Latheron.

Both the male and the female populations are greater than at the previous Census, the former having increased from 14,657 to 15,544, and the latter from 16,464 to 16,999. The burghal population of the county shows an intercensal increase of 1.8 per cent. and the extraburghal one of 10.1 per cent. There are four burghs within the county, of which two, Alloa and Dollar, show increases of 4.4 and 5.8 per cent. respectively, while two, Alva and Tillicoultry, show decreases of 5.2 per cent. and 0.2 per cent. respectively. There are five parishes, three of which, viz.:—Alloa, Clackmannan and Dollar show intercensal increases, while the remaining two, Alva and Tillicoultry show decreases.

Dumbarton.— The population enumerated in the County of Dumbarton amounted to 150,868, of whom 74,141 were males and 76,727 were females. Part of this county in the Parish of New Kilpatrick was annexed to the City of Glasgow and County of Lanark in 1912. In 1911 the present area of the county had a population of 136,233 and the intercensal increase in this area has been one of 14,635 or 10.7 per cent.; the male population has increased by 6,194, and the female by 8,441. Of the total population of this county 96,720 is within burghs and 54,148 in the county districts. The former number shows an intercensal increase of 13.3 per cent. and the latter one of 6.5 per cent. The largest burgh in this county is Clydebank; it is now found to have a population of 46,515, which figure is 8,967, or 23.9 per cent., more than in 1911. In this burgh the male population numbers 23,956 and is 1,397 in excess of the female. Three other burghs in this county show an increase of population, these being Cove and Kilcreggan, Dumbarton, and Helensburgh. The population of Dumbarton has risen from 21,989 to 22,933, and of Helensburgh from 8,529 to 9,701, the former showing an increase of 944 or 4.3 per cent. and the latter one of 1,172 or 13.7 per cent. The population of Cove and Kilcreggan is now 1,447, which is 586 or 68.1 per cent. more than in 1911, an apparent increase which no doubt is attributable to the arrival of summer visitors. Kirkintilloch and Milngavie each show a decrease; the population of Kirkintilloch numbers 11,690, and is 242 less than in 1911, and that of Milngavie numbers 4,434, which is 100 less than in that year. Both county districts show an increase of population, the Eastern having risen from 22,751 to 23,808, and the Western from 28,089 to 30,340, the former showing an increase of 1,057 or 4.6 per cent. and the latter one of 2,25 1 or 8.0 per cent.

The population of Old Kilpatrick has increased from 45,345 to 55,668, that is, by 10,323 or 22.8 per cent. The populations of the Parishes of Arrochar and Roseneath show high rates of increase, the former being 66.9 per cent. and the latter 55.4 per cent., but both may be attributed to the influx of summer visitors.

Both the burghal and the extraburghal portions of this population show intercensal increases, the aggregate burghal population having risen from 20,301 to 22,779, and the extraburghal from 22,953 to 24,708; the former increase amounts to 12.2 per cent. and the latter to 7.6 per cent. Of the seven burghs in this county, five show increases and two decreases; in North Berwick the increase is one of 1,278 or 39.4 per cent. ; in Dunbar, one of 493 or 14.7 per cent.; in Cockenzie and Port Seton, one of 438 or 18.3 per cent.; in Tranent, one of 394 or 9.0 per cent.; and in Prestonpans, one of 78 or 4.1 per cent.

The Eastern County District shows an intercensal loss of population of 327 or 5.3 per cent., but that of the Western District shows an increase of 2,082 or 12.4 per cent.; the population of the former is now 5,862, and of the latter 18,846. Parishes showing considerable increases of population include Athelstaneford, 589 or 88.4 per cent. (due to the temporary presence of a naval detachment); Dirleton, 561 or 27.2 per cent.; Dunbar, 481 or 10.0 per cent.; North Berwick, 1,249 or 31.5 per cent.; Ormiston, 243 or 15.2 per cent.; and Prestonpans, 432 or 9.1 per cent.

The population of Kirkcaldy is found to differ from. what it was in 1911 only by 10. Some of the smaller burghs in this county show a large relative increase, the greater part of which without doubt is attributable to the change of Census Day and the influx of summer visitors. In Crail, the ascertained rate of increase of population is 37.8 per cent.; in Earlsferry, 131.4 per cent.; in Elie Liberty and Williamsburgh, 117.8 per cent.; and in Kinghorn, 56.6 per cent.
