Subject: [Geocoding] OpenStreetMap XML data for Scotland

Dear Sir/Madam,


I am an MSc in GIS student at the University of Edinburgh undertaking my master's project on the subject of the need for a central place name gazetteer for Scotland.  My research has two objectives;

1) To identify and survey the gazetteers currently available in Scotland

2) To demonstrate the value of a central list of place names in linking services

To this end I am in need of your assistance.  I have attempted to download the OpenStreetMap XML data for Scotland but I am restricted to manually selecting a very small area.  I was wondering if you would be able to send me the OpenStreetMap XML data for Scotland? Or if this isn't possible allow me to download larger aras of XML data at a time?



Kind Regards
