the values for P31 in question are:
Q515 -- city
Q15060255 -- council area
Q7309443 -- registration county
Q202435 -- lieutenancy area of Scotland
Q21457810 -- Scottish district (1975 to 1996)
Each of those statuses is different and independent (even in a purely
Scottish context): none of them implies any of the others, none of them
is implied by any of the others.
So, in this case, I don't see that "city of Scotland" would help at all.

Why have instance of item and instance of superclass
of that item?
If Glasgow is instance of : city of Scotland and
City of Scotland is subclass of : city
Then we should not have Glasgow instance of : city
This principle should cut down a lot of these extra 'instances '

A big city is what? A city with more than a given
number of inhabitants?
If so it is redundant because it can be inferred.
Criteria might be defined by local law and/or require some
administrative act. That's how it works in Italy, for instance.
