Private renters15.0% · 6,163 households
Social renters16.2% · 6,650 households

Housing-tenure figures come from the most recent census: 2021 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 2022 in Scotland. View housing-tenure source ↗

Household composition

A broad view of household types in this constituency. Project Open Gov uses the four broad groups supplied by the Commons Library so the presentation remains consistent across the UK.

40,979 householdsCensus 2022
One-person households34.1% · 13,986 households
Families with dependent children20.4% · 8,356 households
Other single-family households39.9% · 16,365 households
Other household types5.5% · 2,272 households

Household-composition figures come from the Commons Library constituency dataset. The source uses census data and Project Open Gov displays its broad household groups rather than attempting to harmonise the detailed categories itself. View household-composition source ↗

Disability and day-to-day activities

The source records whether day-to-day activities are limited and uses separate person-level tables for England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

92,291 people in the source baseCensus 2022Source comparison: Scotland
Day-to-day activities limited a lot9.3% · 8,628 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little14.7% · 13,561 people
Non-disabled76.0% · 70,102 people

Comparison note: the workbook uses different source terminology across the UK: England & Wales uses “Disabled under the Equality Act”, while Scotland and Northern Ireland use “Disabled” / “Non-disabled”. Project Open Gov therefore preserves the source categories and does not present them as one single like-for-like UK legal definition.

Disability figures come from the Commons Library constituency workbook. This profile uses the person-level tables only; the workbook also contains separate household-level disability tables which are not used here. View disability source ↗

Quiet Walkers

Grant to Individual

£4,460

Creative Scotland · Arts

About this award

QUIET WALKERS is a literary eco-horror novel exploring themes of ecological justice, post-capitalist societal rebuilding and building hope out of a broken world. Imagining a future where avatars of the wilderness walk among us, passing lethal 'Judgement' on those they deem guilty of ecological harm, the book asks what a future without millionaires would look like, and what we become when we are held accountable for our treatment of the world. Five years after the world woke up angry, the avatars appear to begin killing indiscriminately, and a research team dedicated to studying them is called in to investigate. As public unrest is stirred up by a twisted religious sect, the investigation uncovers a plan to strike back against the avatars, whether they’re guilty of these new Judgements or not. Caught between a vengeful earth and vicious men, three scientists might hold the key to unlocking a better future, if they can live that long.
