Scotland's productivity

The Office for National Statistics found that, last year, the Glasgow City Council area generated more than £20bn of economic output for the first time.

The figure of £20.3bn was 3% up on the previous year.

The City of Edinburgh's economy grew slightly faster, at 4.6%, but fell just short of the £20bn mark.

Measured as output per resident, Edinburgh was ahead of Glasgow, by £39,330 to £33,120.

However, both were well behind Aberdeen, with output per head of £46,150.

Of the four home nations, Scotland grew the slowest, at 3% in cash terms, while the UK as a whole grew by 3.7%.

Output per head in Scotland was £24,800, while across the UK as a whole, it was £26,339.

The highest output per head was in London at £46,482
