Racism in Scotland
Scotland prides itself on being a friendly country, welcoming of strangers. In reality however, alongside this culture of hospitality, there has also existed a long history of racism in Scotland.
Racism has often been related to particular economic and social circumstances when migrants have been perceived by the resident population to represent some form of economic or social threat.
Racism today is experienced by many communities, both visible and non-visible minorities. During the 18th and 19th centuries, and even still in the 20th century, hostility and prejudice was expressed towards migrants from Ireland, Italy and even the Highlands of Scotland.
