Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. OpenStreetMap holds a lot of great GIS data for Scotland that we could scrape and store in a GitHub repository to then be surfaced on OpenData.Scot

Describe the solution you'd like A script for making queries to the OSM Overpass API to then save in various formats (CSV, JSON, GEOJSON) in a GitHub repo. The script could run on a variable scheduled basis depending on how often we reckon the data would be updated (e.g. weekly, monthly, annually)

Describe alternatives you've considered We could just link directly to overpass queries but that's fairly basic, can have slow API response times and requires more work for the user vs. serving up ready-made and curated datasets

Additional context N/A
