The Kyle of Sutherland area covers 680 square miles (or 1,760 km2), with a population of 1,700. The area has been identified as fragile and disadvantaged due to lack of well-paid employment opportunities, an ageing population, limited transport networks, and poor housing stock. Over 60% of households in the area have been identified as being fuel poor and/or living in poverty. (Source: KoSDT, 2024)
