Sweet! The street where I used to live at the time of that Census is one of the few (possibly only?) in Edinburgh where cycling wins out, even when looking at the map where cars are included.

Edinburgh a bit disappointing in terms of cycling, but no surprise that walking is so popular, it's a very alkable city.
Glasgow with its extensive suburban rail network, sees rail usage quite high. Also settlements along the main rail lines between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Interesting to note Inverness and surrounds have quite good levels for cycling. St Andrews and Leuchars also unsurprisingly have good levels of cycling.

It's the yellow taxi/other at Livingston's Houston industrial estate that interests me! Who lives there? Why do they all take taxis?

@dougal yes I was intrigued by that.

Is it people who live there, or simply any journey to a place of work. If the latter then that would presumably include any journey taken after the working day has started - say getting a taxi from main place of work to another site for a meeting.

Hmm. I think some areas are afflicted by postcodes covering a largish area with very few respondents - the bicycle is not the most popular non-car mode of the population of the new estate along Witham Road (even with the relatively recent improvements to nearby facilities) and the nearest train/metro facility to Woodland Drive is twelve miles bus/drive away in Metheringham; if you're on a bus which goes through Metheringham then you'd be better off staying on it all the way to Lincoln.

Following on from Wingpig's point, there is a suspect large block of motorcyclists in east Livingston! Industrial estates have also been captured despite this being a residential survey. But apart from those data resolution niggles, it's very interesting.
Turn on the car layer and Edinburgh looks like a donut!

I appear to live in a micro cycling nirvana which possibly isn't borne out by real world observation.

I did that and it's just too depressing. Especially when you look at the whole of Scotland.
At least people in the city centre like to walk, that's something.
