abstract: This research is about the role of social capital in building resilience in rural communities in Scotland. In order to be resilient social networks, trust and norms and values are important features of social capital in a community. There are two forms of social capital: bonding and bridging. When a village has strong social capital it is more likely to be resilient to change. The features and forms of social capital are researched empirically in two small rural village: Wanlockhead and Drummore, in the Dumfries and Galloway region, Scotland. For data gathering a survey and interviews are carried out. In the two villages social capital is present in the researched features and forms of social capital. But in both villages there is something to gain in order to get more social capital and be more resilient when changes occur. The research is a cooperation with the Scottish Agricultural College, Edinburgh.
