The [[National Records of Scotland]] define Inverness as the urban area west of the A9. To produce a greater Inverness figure including the villages of [[Balloch, Highland|Balloch]], [[Culloden, Highland|Culloden]], [[Smithton, Highland|Smithton]], and [[Westhill, Inverness|Westhill]], it is necessary to aggregate NRS figures for each locality.<ref name="auto"/>
