Poles are the biggest migrant group in Scotland, figures show
25 August 2016

Five most common nationalities (Population of Scotland 5,373,000)

• Poland - 86,000
  
• India - 16,000
  
• Republic of Ireland - 16,000
  
• USA - 15,000
  
• Pakistan 11,000

One in five of the non UK-born population in Scotland is Polish, new figures have shown.

The UK Office for National Statistics report estimated about 86,000 Poles were living in Scotland in 2015.

The next most common nationalities in Scotland were India and the Irish Republic, both with 16,000. Poland was also the top country of birth for migrants living in the UK.

In total, an estimated 393,000 people in Scotland were born outside the UK.

This was an increase of about 12,000 over the previous year - 7.4% of the overall population.

A total of 203,000 of those non UK-born residents were born outside the European Union (EU) (51.7%).

An estimated 295,000 (5.6%) of the usually-resident population of Scotland held non-British nationality, an increase of 13,000 on the previous year. Of those non-British nationals usually resident in Scotland, 113,000 held non-EU nationality (38.3%).
