Scottish Standardized Places
Recently I have seen changes made to the options for standardised places for various Scottish places, particularly Glasgow, Dundee, and other villages around these cities.
For example, at the moment Dundee can only be standardised as:
Dundee, Scotland, United Kingdom; 1894 - Present; City
Dundee, Forfarshire, Scotland, United Kingdom; 1801 - 1894; Town
Dundee, Forfarshire Scotland; 1305 - 1801; Town
However, there should be more district and council areas as Dundee has changed through the years. Previously there had been options for Tayside and Angus.
The list should look closer to:
Dundee City, Scotland, United Kingdom; 1996 - Present; City
Dundee, Tayside, Scotland, United Kingdom; 1975 - 1996; City
Dundee, Angus, Scotland, United Kingdom; 1950 - 1975; City
Dundee, Angus, Scotland, United Kingdom; 1928 - 1950; Burgh
Dundee, Forfarshire, Scotland, United Kingdom; 1832 - 1928; Burgh
Dundee, Forfarshire, Scotland, United Kingdom; 1801 - 1832; Town
Dundee, Forfarshire, Scotland; 1305 - 1801; Town
Between 1832 - 1950, Dundee was a Burgh so you would find smaller areas such as:
St Clement, Dundee, Angus, Scotland, United Kingdom; 1928 - 1950; District
There are many other places where I believe there are missing places like certain districts in Glasgow.
For example, St Rollox, this place is currently standardised as:
Saint Rollox, Lanarkshire, Scotland, United Kingdom; 1801 - Present; Populated Place
However, I think it should look closer to:
Saint Rollox, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, United Kingdom; 1875 - 1934; District
I would greatly appreciate it if this matter wasl ooked into and resolved.

Any user can suggest a new Standard Place Name and it will be reviewed and added if it is unique.
