LIKE many readers I was pleased to see that Scotland’s population, overall, is showing a modest increase over the past ten years since the last census in 2011, now recorded at 5,436,600.
Now, it is good news that we are all living longer. As someone in the over-65 age group myself, what is not to like about living longer and healthier? I live in the Isle of Skye, and my wife sold new-build houses here over many years until her retirement. 90% percent of the purchasers were retirees from England. Indeed, the population of Skye today is considered as in excess of 30% English migrants, almost all retirees.
Let’s hope we can change that dismal lack of endorsement before the next vote, however that is defined.
