📣New blog post alert 📣
Do you know... Who dies of old age? When Queen Elizabeth II passed away in 2022, her death certificate cited "old age". But how common is death from old age now, and in the past?

If a relative was born, married or died in Scotland in 1855, you may be in luck - it’s the golden year of genealogy!

1855 was the first year of civil registration and much more information was recorded than in subsequent years.

Have you wondered what a Research Software Engineer does or what is involved with our Scottish Historic Population Platform (#SHiPP) project ? Today Atreyi Saha shares the answers to these questions as well as why she #lovesdata24. @adr_uk @BayesCentre https://t.co/DOk0r2plic

[ADR Scotland @SCADR_data]

Our final message for #LoveData24 comes from our historical demographer Eilidh, who is working as part of the #SHiPP team that hopes to create a methodology to gather historical data on Scotland's population from 1855, and then link that to health, education or other social data.
