The UK is not all that small or all that densely populated. Great Britain is the world's ninth largest island. its marginally smaller than Honshu which has a bigger population, and England alone is about the size of Java (which has a bigger population than Russia). I know offhand that it has a lower population density than Sri Lanka Its a long way from even Cornwall to the North of Scotland, and significantly further between the islands. | ||

> Its a long way from even Cornwall to the North of Scotland Indeed, driving from Land’s End to John o’Groats is basically the same distance as the longest drive across Texas! | ||

As I say in the other post, it is unevenly populated (much like Honshu). The thing is that parts of Scotland have been deliberately depopulated by the aristocracy (and to a lesser extent government). | ||
