In recent years rural policy issues have been to the fore in Scotland. However, the specific needs and characteristics of rural areas have yet to be raised in all policy areas. Issues concerning older people in rural Scotland are a case in point. There have been very few studies of older people in rural areas and in consequence there is little systematic understanding of their life experiences. This report reviews a wide range of material about older people in rural areas, presenting information around five quality of life themes: income, housing, accessibility, health and social care, and social and community life.
