Required to interpret output? 

Movements
- Make a log in for WICID
- Apply for safeguarded data (https://www.ons.gov.uk/census/2011census/2011censusdata/originanddestinationdata/safeguardedoriginanddestinationtables)
- Or use the more aggregated data
- For Scotland, convenient tables of travel to study at: https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/origin-destination-statistics - these are a council area, which doesn’t quite line up with anything else

Population
- Somewhat likely the data team will provide this?
- Scotland at OA level:  https://borders.ukdataservice.ac.uk/easy_download_data.html?data=Scotland_oac_2011
