There are currently a total of 1,226 councilors elected from 355 wards - with each Mainland ward returning 3 or 4 councillors. Island wards may have 1 or 2 member wards. Boundaries Scotland is responsible for recommendations on the definition of ward boundaries, however, the definitive dataset is delineated by Ordnance Survey for inclusion in their BoundaryLine product.
