Scotland definitely has wards and not divisions. I genuinely had no idea of this, maybe because I had some vague idea of the "wards/divisions" distinction being somehow related to size. It would appear not. |

I think that the Scottish regional councils used to have divisions?

I think that the Scottish regional councils used to have divisions? As did the former Metropolitan County Councils in England, if I recall correctly. |

The GLC had 'electoral areas' (which were at first the same as boroughs, then the same as Parliamentary constituencies). In Greater Manchester, the Divisions were generally based on pairing up Wards although some Wards stood along as Divisions. Wigan, has one three member division based on the Parliamentary Constituency. The latter was bad news for the Conservatives who might have been in with a shout for one seat had it been split into three Divisions. In Coventry, we had three member Divisions based on the (then) four Parliamentary Constituencies. |

County councils have divisions, district councils have wards. Scottish regions were structurally counties. Whether a unitary has wards or divisions depends on whether it is a unitary district or a unitary county. |
