Spatial Hub Scotland

Scotland's authoritative home of local government spatial data, conflating council datasets into consistent national layers.

The Spatial Hub is the authoritative home of spatial information for Scottish local government and partners, operated by the Improvement Service. Every Scottish local authority and national park contributes data, which is conflated and standardised into consistent, up-to-date national datasets.

Themes include planning, administrative boundaries, environment, transport, and community facilities, published as web services (WMS/WFS) and downloads. Open datasets are freely accessible with a free account, while a small number of premium datasets require public-sector or commercial licences.
