Factfile
Located on Outer Hebrides, off the West coast of Scotland

Remote Island - transport links are few
Flights from Glasgow
5 hour ferry from Oban
40 min crossing from Eriskay to Barra
Main road around coast - 12km
An airport on north of island - beach serves as a runway
Implications on Service Provision

Gov. funding established the Barra community co-operative which setup a shop in Castlebay
Economic Activity
Few opps. for economically active age groups
Tourism generates seasonal jobs
Traditional opps. e.g. crofting + fishing employ an ever decreasing number of people
Jan>June 2001 unemployment fell in Barra from 5 - 3.4% due to the building of the Eroskay causeway Unemployment grew again after it was completed.
Gross weekly earnings are 12% lower then the Scottish average, whilst costs of fuel, food and transport can be up to 20% higher than the mainland
Continued depopulation
Social Stability

Rural > Urban internal migration
2001 - 11% urban dwellers by 2001 - 27.8%
Service Provision
Health + Sanitation
IMR = 183/1000
1534 toilets for 16M people
750 ppl. to 1 tap
125 ppl. to one latrine - crowded, dirty and distant - open spaces become waste lands
Education

Traffic
Congestion is a major problem (1300 tonnes of emissions per day) killing several hundred each year

1kg of solid waste per person/per day
6000 tonnes of garbage daily
Landfill sites polluted and unsafe
2400M litres of water waste a day - 50% lost by poor pipes

Living Standards
Poverty, malnutrition and homelessness is common
Low standard if living

Slum dwellers not considered to be citizens - they have no rights
High crime rates -gangsters in charge of politics - force people to vote
