The location of the main offices is part of the economic success of Denmark, though. Copenhagen has a ton of white-collar office jobs in large part because it's the headquarters of some multinational companies. This has helped Denmark weather the transition from manufacturing and shipping by moving up the ladder to "managers of manufacturing and shipping". Maersk used to be a huge employer of Danish seamen and shipyard workers, for example, but by now all its Danish shipyards have closed, and its ships are not mainly staffed by Danes anymore either. Now its construction and shipping operations are almost exclusively outside of Denmark (largely in Asia), but it still contributes a huge pile of money to the Danish economy because the "office" and logistics side of its global operations are largely run out of Denmark. Carlsberg is somewhat similar: very little of it is brewed in Denmark anymore. The brewing is done in the Baltic countries, Poland, etc. But the business side of things is headquartered in Denmark. In Scotland's case, it seems like they still do some of the manufacturing, but it's London that gets the HQs and the white-collar office jobs.
