[Talk-GB] Scottish community councils

Hi, this is my first post on this forum.

My question is: is there any reason why community councils in Scotland are
not mapped? I ask because I do a lot of mapping in Angus, and I was
planning to map the community councils for Angus council area, but I wanted
to check first. These community councils do not have as many powers as
English civil parishes and Welsh communities, but they do have a few
statutory powers.

If they have just not been done yet, I will get started doing Angus council
area's community councils, and I can do Edinburgh's as well. They would be
admin_level=10 to fit with English civil parishes and Welsh communities. It
is worth noting that Scotland also has "area committees" which some council
areas (such as Glasgow, Aberdeenshire, Argyll and Bute etc) have devolved
certain powers to. If these were to be mapped they would be admin_level=8
presumably.

Thanks.
