Scotland covers an area of about 77,900 square kilometres (30,090 square miles), making up roughly one-third of the total land area of the United Kingdom.
Scotland’s population is around 5.5 million, compared with over 56 million in England — a striking contrast that highlights Scotland’s vast landscapes and low population density.
Stretching almost 600 miles from the English border to the Shetlands, Scotland includes over 790 islands and some of the most dramatic natural scenery in Europe.
