  • When place becomes a brand

    Rachel Creaney, Sharon Flanigan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Rural Studies2027

    As rural development becomes increasingly shaped by industries that draw on place-based identities, cultures, and environments, understanding how their benefits are distributed within host communities is increasingly important. This paper examines the interconnected whisky and food-and-drink tourism sectors in Speyside, Scotland, where both industries derive value from the symbolic and material qualities of place. In such contexts, place itself b…

  • Van dwelling in Scotland

    Open AccessRachel Hunt, Rachel Creaney et al.ARTICLEScottish Geographical Journal2026

    Van dwelling is the act of living on wheels on a temporary or permanent basis. Social media and popular culture suggest that ‘vanlife’ is a growing phenomenon. We undertook a study to explore the experiences, challenges and opportunities of van dwelling across Scotland, including an evidence-gathering workshop with van dwellers and representatives from relevant organisations where we used creative methods to foster discussion. Through this work w…

    Open AccessMei Lan Fang, Judith Sixsmith et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction: Evolving aging societies, ongoing digitalisation and circumstances of COVID-19 are changing living conditions for growing older. There is an increased urgency to view public health with a focus on integrating people of all ages into the matrix of opportunities afforded in their communities. This study initiates the conceptualization of an intergenerational, age-friendly living ecosystem (AFLE) to enhance public health planning. Meth…

  • Digital life as a cabaret, old chum

    Open AccessRachel Creaney, Margaret Currie et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging Studies2023Referencias: 7

    The use of smart and assistive devices for remote healthcare monitoring is becoming increasingly popular for older people in their homes. However, the lived and long-term experiences of such technology, for the older residents and their wider caring networks remains unclear. Using in-depth qualitative data collected between June 2019 and January 2020 from older people living in their own homes in rural Scotland, we highlight that although such mo…

  • Working with community researchers to enhance rural community engagement around Private Water Supplies

    Open AccessRachel Creaney, Mags Currie et al.ARTICLEQualitative Research2022Referencias: 23

    This project employed community researchers as a means of improving community engagement around their Private Water Supplies (PWS) in rural Scotland. In this paper, we reflect on working with community researchers in terms of the benefits and challenges of the approach for future rural research that seeks to improve community engagement. The paper (1) critiques the involvement of community researchers for rural community engagement, drawing on th…

  • The contribution of healthcare smart homes to older peoples' wellbeing

    Open AccessRachel Creaney, Louise Reid et al.ARTICLEWellbeing Space and Society2021

    Healthcare smart homes (HSH) are promoted as a possible solution in response to demographic ageing. They encourage ageing-in-place by enabling residents to remain in their own homes by utilising smart technologies to allow safe and independent living. However, the degree to which they currently encourage relational wellbeing of residents and their wider networks is novel. This critical narrative review provides a theoretical contribution to the g…

  • New knowledge networks of small-scale farmers in Europe’s periphery

    Open AccessLee-Ann Sutherland, Lee‐ann Sutherland et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2017Citada por: 7Referencias: 22

    In this paper we assess the types of knowledge networks utilised by small-scale farmers in four case studies (located in Bulgaria, Poland, Portugal, and the United Kingdom). We focus on knowledge acquired to inform three new activities being undertaken by study participants: agricultural production, subsidy access and regulatory compliance, and farm diversification (specifically agritourism). Findings demonstrate that the new knowledge networks a…
