Abstract
Affective and embodied knowledges have come to exert an influence on both rural studies and ageing studies. Drawing together these two contexts and considering the accelerated demographic ageing experienced in rural areas in contrast to urban areas, this paper aims to explore the affective and emotional lives of older people living in rural Scotland. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, this paper explores two emergent themes: the more-than-human nature of rural spaces that older people experience and the socialities that rural spaces afford.
