Presents the findings of a study undertaken to investigate the repopulation and possible gentrification of rural Scotland. Describes household surveys and interviews with residents which were carried out in the six study areas (Black Isle, Skye, Fife, Mearns, Crieff, and Kyle and Carrick). Discusses the characteristics of the in-migrants focusing on their incomes and occupations. Looks at the migration process, motivations for moving and the gentrification impacts. Highlights the geographical and temporal variations in rural gentrification. Explains that not all in-migration represents gentrification, and where it does it gives rise to differing impacts. Identifies spatial divisions in the local housing market, and explores the issues of social displacement and population replacement. Suggests a possible link between urban and rural gentrification processes.
