However, the West of Scotland is a very good place for anyone to bug out, especially if they are uncertain of where to go. I believe the Crofters Commision are trying to obtain more crofters to take up unused crofts. This might appeal to people who would like to have a smallholding. I should think that you would need a few thousand to start up if you were successful in obtaining a croft. Kenneth Eames.
The west coast of Scotland, particularly that region north of the Great Glen, is the least densely populated region of western Europe and has many other merits to commend it regardless of whether one believes in the necessity of either an isolated retreat or a rural settlement instead. One possible downside though is the lingering resentment towards the English some natives still cling to because of the Clearances. In a major crisis, that could become a survival issue itself.
