Scottish Learners and the 3-Centre Rule

In Scotland, test centres can be further apart than in England — particularly in rural areas. This means some Scottish learners may have a smaller effective swap pool. However, Edinburgh and Glasgow each have multiple nearby centres, and cross-city swaps (e.g. Edinburgh Dalkeith to Edinburgh Musselburgh) are very common on Swappy.
