By one metric there are 841,000 practicing Catholics in Scotland, with 184,283 attending Mass regularly. That puts Catholics as far outnumbering Protestants in Scotland, for the first time since the Reformation.
Between 2012 and 2022, the number of obese adults in Scotland rose 46 percent, to comprise about one-third of the population.
In 1950, 76 percent of Scots age 16 or older were married, now it is about 45 percent.
All those details are from the new and fun book by Alistair Moffat, To See Ourselves: A Personal History of Scotland Since 1950. From these tidbits I conclude that “Scotland as we knew it” is not just evolving, but also disappearing.
