I’ve found shape files for the parish boundaries http://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/statistics-and-data/geography/our-products/other-national-records-of-scotland-nrs-geographies-datasets

and I’ve tried to convert them to json files and add them to the datashine map, but I’m not having much luck. Is this possible? Could you point me to any resources that might help me learn more?

Chris, you can add any GeoJSON or KML file, it doesn’t have to be one from Mapit. You can also drag multiple files on and that will show the boundaries for each.

A simple way of adding the OA outlines that I’m focussed on would also be good for DataShine. Mapit doesn’t always work and is not easy to combine, e.g. http://mapit.mysociety.org/area/E02006808.kml
