CITY REGION BOUNDARIES STUDY
C.11 In the Edinburgh map, isolated sectors such as that near Arbroath may be questionable on grounds of the small sample size, but the large number of isolated zones in Glasgow suggests that there are an increasing number of areas of Glasgow where 5 and sometimes 10% of the population now work within Edinburgh.
C.12 It is also of note that the 5% level extends to the English border, and in the west, the high proportion of postcodes in rural Stirlingshire at the 5% level shows that an increasing number of people are travelling long distances. For the 1991 census, only Aberdeenshire had postcodes with more than 5% of work trips travelling 50km or over.

C.13 For Dundee it is interesting that there are a significant minority of postcodes in Edinburgh, close to the City Bypass with 5% or more of the household survey sample travelling to Dundee.
C.14 The extremely large TTWA for Aberdeen echoes that in the 1991 census but interestingly this has only changed marginally over the last 10 years. It may be that other areas of Scotland have been catching up with patterns which were only visible in Aberdeenshire 10 years ago where levels of car ownership were higher.
