There's a reason people in Scotland don't display Scottish flags as a symbol of the exclusion of migrants. Migrants to Scotland and their families are more likely to identify as Scottish & be accepted as Scots.

I hated racism then.
I hate racism now.

I am a Scot, in Scotland.
It's not perfect, but we have a saying most of us are proud to live by:

'We're #AllJockTamsonsBairns'

We welcome #NewScots.
We are an outward looking nation.
We voted #Remain

We need #ScottishIndependence and a return to the EU.

There's a very low bar to being Scottish. You live here, you want to be Scottish. You're in.

Ethnicity isn't all about ancestry or country of birth. It's self defined.

So, if you're new here, have to choose between being Scottish and being British. Don't hesitate. Choose 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Clipping from Conceiving a Nation Marcus (2017) - "Ethnicity is a word for the culture by which people choose to represent themselves, and with which they improvise to assert their identities and to negotiate such matters as status and power."
