thecentralbeltScotland's Business Directory

Businesses outside the Central Belt

The listings that are not in one of the Scottish towns this directory covers. They are shown here, in one place, and labelled as outside the area.

Outside the area we cover. Every business on this page is based outside the towns we list — not in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen or any of the other towns with their own page. We keep them on this page only: they are never shown on a town page and never counted in a town's total, so a search for a local business in Paisley cannot return one based in Surrey. If you want a business that is actually local, the directory is the place to search.

What counts as "outside"

The directory covers the Scottish towns listed above — the Central Belt (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, Ayrshire, Dunbartonshire, Falkirk, Stirling, Fife and the Lothians), plus Aberdeen, Inverness, Dundee, Perth, the Borders and the rest — each with its own page. A business outside Scotland, or one that serves the whole country and belongs to no single town, is filed here instead: it can still be listed, but we do not present it as a local listing.

Why list outside businesses at all

Sometimes a customer wants a specialist they will travel to, or a supplier who delivers into the Central Belt, and a directory that hides those businesses is less useful than one that says plainly where they are. So rather than refuse the submission, we publish it here — separately, labelled, and out of the local results.

Will an outside listing appear on town pages?

No. Out-of-area businesses are kept off every town page and out of the town counts on the homepage, the directory and the category pages. The only place they appear is here, plus their own business page.

How to add your business

Use the Add your business form, tick “My business is outside the Central Belt” and give us the actual town or county — we publish that, not an invented Central Belt town. Listing is free, the same as everywhere else on the site, and your confirmation email says plainly where your listing will appear.

Based outside the Central Belt?

You can still be listed — on this page, clearly labelled.
