I want to get Scotland's Council Wards geospatial data. The link on spatialdata.gov.scot links to OS Opendata Boundary line. But that dataset is for the entire UK.

In that dataset is the shapefile data/gb/district_borough_unitary_ward_region.shp which I believe has the data I need. But when I look at the attribute table I see nothing to uniquely identify ward by country. How can I access only Scotlands electoral wards?

You can use an expression to select Scotish wards left( "CODE" , 1)='S'

Or do it by spatial selection (which is the hard way I tried first.

I would use scotland_and_wales_region_region.shp to give me the outlines of Scotland and Wales. Then I would select Scotland in that layer, and then use Select by Location to find all the wards that are within or touch the selected polygon

This will give you all of Scotland and a strip of neighbours across the top of England that you can deselect by hand, you then need to export your selection to a new GeoPackage.
