Subdivisions of Scotland

Scotland is divided into 32 Council areas (English: council areas).

This subheading is introduced in 1996. From 1975 to 1996, the country was divided into regions .

The traditional division into counties (counties) remains very popular in the parlance and is also used by the post. For ceremonial purposes the country is divided into those about Lieutenancy areas, but not quite with the counties line.
