Open Data Portals
The following open data portals may contain datasets that are useful.
- data.gov.uk This is the direct download of the Office of National Statistics
- statistics.gov.scot
- Glasgow Open Data Portal
- Edinburgh Open Data Portal
In general, it’s best to look for datasets using CSV as their format. If you find an interesting dataset that is not in CSV format, let us know and we can try to help convert it.
For example https://data.glasgow.gov.uk/dataset/takeaways-and-sandwich-shops-in-glasgow is based on data from Food Standards Scotland. To get the same info for Edinburgh, we would need to convert this file from XML to CSV.
