Abstract
Transport in Scotland differs from that in the rest of the UK due to its relative isolation from core UK and European markets and the concentration of population in the small area of the central belt. Compared to the UK as a whole, it has a physically challenging geography; larger variations in population densities and lower car ownership rates.
