If you’re interested in doing data journalism in or about Scotland there’s a post over on the Help Me Investigate blog rounding up a number of useful sources (I collected them as part of some two-day data journalism training sessions I have been delivering within a Scottish newspaper publisher).

If you just want a list they include:

• The Scottish Government Statistics page
• The General Register Office for Scotland statistics
• Data.gov.uk datasets mentioning ‘Scotland’.
• Information Services Division Scotland
• Scottish Health Survey
• Inpatient Patient Experience Survey
• Education Scotland school reports and publications
• Scottish Schools Online portal.
• Scottish Environment Statistics Online
• Scottish Environment Protection Agency data.
• Scottish Natural Heritage statistics and reports.
• Audit Scotland performance data on the fire and rescue services.
• Judiciary of Scotland judicial expenses and judgments and sentences 
• Audit Scotland’s Council performance pages
• MPs’ allowances on the Scottish Parliament website.
