The General Register Office for Scotland has published a report on the number of centenarians living in Scotland between 2002 and 2007. The number is on the rise, with 710 recorded in the country last year. With over 7000 years worth of social history waiting to be recorded, I hope somebody has had a chance to visit them with a tape recorder!
