From what I've read online,Scotland only sent a few hundred thousands of immigrants to the US, while most Scottish immigrants chose Canada. This mass migrations of the Scots started with the agricultural revolution and the cleareances in both the Highlands and Lowlands.Considering lower class Scots were screwed over by Scottish and English elites, how come they chose to emigrate for the most part to British dominion, especially Canada, where they are a large proportion of the population? Is it because the passage by ship to Halifax was slightly cheaper(for being somewhat more easterly) and Scots are famously stingy?
