5 Likely total number and percentage of Muslims as of 2017

From: Scottish Muslims in Numbers. Alwaleed Centre, University of Edinburgh

‘While Muslims form 1.45% of the total Scottish population, the proportion of school-age children (aged 5-14) who are Muslim is notably higher, at 2.4%. The number of Muslim teenagers in 2021 (those currently in the 5-9 age band) is projected to be 9.4% of the overall Muslim population. For some areas of and Dundee, wards with the most concentrated Muslim populations (constituting over 5% of the total), the percentage of Muslims among children of school age is very high. For instance, in the Pollokshields ward, where Muslims make up 28% of the overall population, the proportion of 5-15 year olds who are Muslim is 48%.’
