The 80th anniversary of VE Day is around the corner - so it is a good time to pay respect to the sacrifice of thousands of men and women in the Second World War. I took a look at roll of honour data for Dundee and Aberdeen. To emphasise the scale of loss I built a memorial garden using D3.js

Effective and creative data visualization in the form of a full page piece in the WaPo today to show how Trump/Musk are dismantling government.

I decided to join this month's Journal Dataviz Challenge and visualise the Women in The Nobel Prize with a slightly different format. Each pair of petals represents a single woman who won the prize from 1901 to 2024. The more women winning a year, the flower grows fuller. #dataviz

Olivia is back to the top of the list of baby names for girls in Scotland - for the seventh time. Scotland's annual baby name data has been released for 2024 and we dove into the naming trends, including...

We have analysed when crashes happen on the A96, but today we want to provide a better answer for the question of where they happen. Using QGIS I created a heatmap along the road from Aberdeen to Inverness showing clustered accident blackspots. 1/4 #dataviz

Fourteen fatal crashes, 89 serious crashes and 76 slight collisions. That is the breakdown of the 179 accidents on the A96 between 2019 and 2023 as we launch our latest investigation. Throughout the week we will have exclusive analysis on the road running between Aberdeen & Inverness. #dataviz 1/3

After an amber weather alert for rain on New Year's Eve, I am kicking off the year with some rainfall analysis. Some monitoring stations across Moray and the Highlands saw their wettest December on record - with one even breaking a record set in 1999. www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/6661...

After a 19-year career, Andy Murray officially retired this year and we could think of no better way to celebrate his legacy but through #dataviz. So from his rise through the ranks to world No 1 to the speed of his serve, we look at the data on his achievements #AndyMurray.

Lovely

Some hand drawn #dataviz I made in October📊 . The sun will set in Glasgow at 3.45pm today but we are in the last stretch of the nights getting longer. In just over two weeks the minutes of light will start to creep up again ☀

We have been tracking Perth's high streets for a year now. But how has the Fair City changed over the course of 12 months? The average vacancy rate in Perth increased slightly since 2023, but fell or remained at 0% for five out of nine tracked streets. #dataviz #ddj #datajournalism

Our care home and childcare trackers have recently been updated with the latest data. We analyse the grades of hundreds of care services to allow readers to evaluate services in their area. #ddj #dataviz
