ABSTRACT
In the present chapter I attempt both an analysis of the economic geography of the region and an account of the development prospects and expectations in Strathclyde at the time of survey. Scotland extends to an area of 77,080 sq. km, of which 73 per cent is utilised for agriculture. There were 4.957 million people living in Scotland in 1991 according to that year's census. There were 14.9 students for each teacher in secondary public education (UK level data), while there were 281 cars per thousand people in Scotland (CSO, 1992).
