DEPOPULATION AND HOUSEHOLD DYNAMICS IN COLONSAY (INNER HEBRIDES)

Abstract

This article analyses the household dynamics in Colonsay during the severe depopulation of 1841–1891. The nineteenth century dynamics are then related to the twentieth century community as it now exists. The Colonsay history of crisis is compared to European examples as impetus towards any theory and model of community decline and future.
