[edit] Health board area boundaries
I read in Greater Glasgow that the health board area includes West Dunbartonshire, but in Argyll and Clyde I read that the Argyll and Clyde health board area includes western West Dunbartonshire. Laurel Bush 11:16, 25 January 2006 (UTC).
- Will need an update as Argyll and Clyde health board has been abolished and Argyll and Bute has gone to Highland health board while the rest has gone to Greater Glasgow health board, causing it to be renamed NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (see Subdivisions of Scotland for details).

[edit] Towns
I just linked all the towns. Surely Hamilton should be in there? ::Supergolden:: 11:36, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Very confusing
There are several different population figures given here and it's not at all clear where the boundaries for each lie, or why they should matter. The SPT reference for the 2.3mil figure actually says that's the number of people within the "travel to work area." I live in Greenock, a town on the rail network from which I travel to work into Glasgow, yet Greenock is not listed as one of the towns making up the 2.3mil figure; but it *is* part of "West Central Scotland" (which is meaningless in context; see below.) Later on, the Metropolitan Area is mentioned and its population is obviously far lower. IMO this article needs a lot of work from someone who has exact figures and exact boundaries; the 2.3mil figure is said to include West Central Scotland; West Central Scotland in fact links to an article on the Central belt which can stretch as far as Edinburgh!

[edit] Aachen,Leige and Maastricht conurbation!
Is nowhere near the size the Glasgow conurbation! I don't know how they count as a conurbation Aachen and Liege are about the distance of Glasgow and Edinburgh and there is no constant urban build up! However I believe the number of 2.3million is fairly accurate but as the Glasgow conurbation no but I believe it should be called the Strathclyde Metropolitan Area. Thats what SPT must be refering to. This is understandable. There is a relatively big settlement area and small distances in between towns. I work in Larkhall and it's refered to a part of the Glasgow economy bear in mind it's only 9 miles from Glasgow city center. Within a 30 mile radius of Glasgow city centre there is a lot of large towns.
