Valuation Rolls 1915 - Stats
The total number of names is around 2.6 million. The real figure is lower than this total suggests, because the names of many individuals recur. For example, landlords are entered against each property they owned. The total compares with the 1911 Census, showing the population of Scotland in April 1911 was 4.7 million.
