First Published in 1996. Feelings about the repopulation of remote
rural areas are nowadays expressed in rather alarming terms, so
that in the word of a Skye land-owner: 'the filling of empty glens
with people, regardless of origin, is dangerous...because it can
destroy the ancient culture which is so precious'. Yet it is
remarkable that the depopulation which characterized the previous
centuries was greeted with virtually the same reaction. The
repopulation of rural Scotland, which since the beginning of the
century, has been wished for as the solution to the great problem
of rural depopulation, has provoked an ambiguous response. This
book describes the local experience of recent population changes
and addresses the 'problem' of repopulation. It analyses the
paradoxes, ironies and ambiguities that form a complex structure of
feelings, much of which is only partially evident at any one time.
