We present a catalogue of 618 high amplitude infrared variable stars (1 < ∆K < 5 mag) detected by the two widely separated epochs of 2.2 µm data in the UKIDSS Galactic plane survey, from searches covering ∼1470 deg 2 . Most were discovered by a search of all fields at 30 < l < 230 • . Sources include new dusty Mira variables, three new CV candidates, a blazar and a peculiar source that may be an interacting binary system. However, ∼60% are YSOs, based on spatial association with star forming regions at distances ranging from 300 pc to over 10 kpc. This confirms our initial result in Contreras Peña et al. (Paper I) that YSOs dominate the high amplitude infrared variable sky in the Galactic disc. It is also supported by recently published VVV results at 295 < l < 350 • . The spectral energy distributions of the YSOs indicate class I or flat spectrum systems in most cases, as in the VVV sample. A large number of variable YSOs are associated with the Cygnus X complex and other groups are associated with the North America/Pelican nebula, the Gemini OB1 molecular cloud, the Rosette complex, the Cone nebula, the W51 star forming region and the S86 and S236 HII regions. Most of the YSO variability is likely due to variable/episodic accretion on timescales of years, albeit usually less extreme than classical FUors and EXors. Luminosities at the 2010 WISE epoch range from ∼0.1 L to 10 3 L but only rarely exceed 10 2.5 L .
