Refuge or retreat
Islands are significantly on the agenda in Scotland. Media accounts – news, features, and other creative narratives – textually frame the representational terrains of island policy, agency and community. Such mediatization informs and responds to certain ideas and discourses of our island geographies. It typically includes what could be considered good islandness: that is, islands as good lifestyle havens, sites of social resilience and adaptive …
Participation and co‐production in climate adaptation
As climate change impacts increase, there are growing calls for strengthening relationships between researchers and other stakeholders to advance adaptation efforts. Participation and co‐production are widely held to be key to such relationships, both intended to open substantive engagement in science and research to non‐experts. Gains commonly attributed to participation and co‐production include improved understanding of user needs and contexts…
Current Scottish Land Reform and Reclaiming the Commons
Scotland has been addressing the highest European concentrations of land ownership through land reform legislation, encouraging communities to buy out the lairds. Collective efforts to take ownership of the commons are explored through application of theories on governance, regional development and institutions. Experiences of Inner and Outer Hebridean islanders under private and then community ownership, paying special attention to the case of t…
Transformation in a changing climate
The concept of transformation in relation to climate and other global change is increasingly receiving attention. The concept provides important opportunities to help examine how rapid and fundamental change to address contemporary global challenges can be facilitated. This paper contributes to discussions about transformation by providing a social science, arts and humanities perspective to open up discussion and set out a research agenda about …
Shut Up for Five Years
Recent research and active promotion suggests that islands and remote rural locations in Scotland do offer 'attractive places to live and work'. The purpose of this article is to explore the narratives of cultural workers, and to derive from this a further nuanced appreciation of what in-migrants to islands might express as meaningful in reference to an idea of 'locating narratives'. We look at how the narratives vary depending upon the connectio…
Good work? Scottish cultural workers’ narratives about working and living on islands
This paper sets out to ask how cultural workers on Scottish islands come to narrate their work and everyday life experiences. We ask this question in the context of two dominant doctrines that can influence whether or not these experiences are “good or bad.” The first doctrine describes attitudes toward creativity with reference to current discussions around cultural work and the idea of “creative.” The second doctrine highlights conceptions of i…

Local Heroics
Aspects of 'localness' are used to both define and promote Scotland's rural people and places. By way of illustration, the social construction and consumption of Scotland's highlands and islands as underpinned by a negotiated relationship between what is considered 'local' and 'not local,' is provided. One particular focus is on how incomer and local identities are constructed and mediated by development agencies and academic analysis. It is sugg…
