As someone who goes to university in Scotland, there are certainly pockets
of diversity (mainly the large cities -- Glasgow and Edinburgh principally),
but parts are very parochial. The diversity in the urban UK is much greater
than that in rural areas. However, this doesn't matter because Hogwarts
doesn't have a regional catchment area -- it serves all of the UK and
Ireland.
