Expert Systems, Local Knowledge and Power in Argyll, Scotland
This article is based on research carried out as part of a larger project into land use and landscape in Argyll 1945–2005. The aim of the article is to point out the ways in which strategies employed by agencies responsible for monitoring rural landscapes interact with the ideas and knowledge of local people. It will provide evidence from field work in the region to demonstrate that, firstly, the programmes employed and enforced by national agencies are shaped by a particular understanding of environmental history, and secondly, that the interaction with rural labourers and farmers is weak, leading to a neglect of information and support which might otherwise make these programmes far more effective.
