Scotland

At-a-glance

168,142 people born abroad were living in Scotland at the time of the census, 3.3% of the population.

34% more foreign-born people were living in Scotland in 2001 than in 1991 – one the fastest rates of change.

8.93% of people in south-west Aberdeen are foreign-born – predominantly oil industry workers.

172 people in Glasgow Easterhouse, 0.63% of residents, were born abroad – the smallest number in Scotland.

Scotland has the third lowest number of people who were born abroad – but it has seen one of the fastest rates of recent change.

The largest group in the Census is people born in Germany, probably because of the children of military personnel born while stationed there. After Pakistan-born, the next largest group is US-born.

Edinburgh and Glasgow perhaps unsurprisingly have the largest numbers of people born abroad – six areas across the two cities have more than the GB average.

But further north, the economy plays its part again: areas closest to the Aberdeen oil fields have large numbers of foreign-born, particularly US and Dutch born.
