Migration within Scotland

Last updated 20 May 2009

Background

Migration within Scotland refers to people moving from one part of Scotland to another. For example people might move from one Council area to another or from one NHS Board area to another. These moves do not affect the size of Scotland’s population but do affect the size of the population of areas within Scotland.

The main source of data used to produce the General Register Office for Scotland (GROS) estimates of this sort of migration is GP registration information. More information on how these migration estimates are derived can be found in the Methodology section.
