Scotland - The state of the Digital Nation

About Makeover Monday

MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”

Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decided to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.

The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

This week let’s look at the digital companies in Scotland. The original article provided a very comprehensive view of the digital companies in Scotland, including their location, industry, size, etc. Though the dataset provided is just the counties with company count. It’s great to learn the digital industry is thriving in Scotland.

My Visualization

Another super small dataset… So let’s make a map and bar chart, with the highlight action :)

Please notice that all the visualizations are designed for desktop view, so it is recommended to view them on a desktop device.

Insights

• Midlothian and Glasgow are two counties relatively small in the size on the map, but they contributed ~60% of the digital companies in Scotland.
