Great read by doctoral researcher @KG_Jura in today's @heraldscotland. Kirsten shares her insights from her #islandsresearch 'Gow's typology' & reflections from working with @IslandsTeamSG to further develop this island-centered approach to the #Scottishislandstypology
Overlooking the day-to-day differences of life on #Scottishislands can sideline entire #island communities. It's time for a new typology - and @HuttonSEGS @KG_Jura (@aberdeenuni) has come up with one adopted by @scotgov. More in today's @heraldscotland: bit.ly/3yjNODW
