This guide shows the difference between measures of GDP.  The guide shows how the Scottish economy compares in the UK and the world. Scotland's GDP per head is at the average of the OECD countries, just behind Great Britain. There are wide regional differences in Gross Vaue Added per head of the most value being 3 times the least area. Disposable income per head has much less variation (38%).  The Human Development Index shows Scotland very close and recently narrowing the small gap with the UK

The economic situation has been made even worse by the unfolding disaster that is Brexit. Scotland voted to remain in the EU, because it was manifestly in our best interests to do so. But our votes were ignored, along with our opinions, our economic drivers and our arguments for a softer Brexit which would have allowed us to stay in the single market.
