Abstract
Most of the onshore activities associated with North Sea Oil developments have been located in essentially rural regions of Scotland. The wide varieties of regional and oil activity characteristics have led to a research emphasis on the diversity of oil impacts on affected areas. Using empirical evidence, this paper demonstrates that there are underlying similarities in the pattern of oil impact on Scottish rural areas. It is argued that this arises from a fundamental technological 4mismatch, between the supply capabilities of the indigenous rural economy and the demand requirements of the oil industry. It is suggested that this mismatch is exacerbated by a lack of information exchange between the local and oil sectors.
