Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Scotland accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Scotland and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Scotland is a diverse country with a wide range of ethnicities, religions, and cultures. People in Scotland are generally accepting of differences and are welcoming to people from all backgrounds. Scotland has a long history of immigration, and this has helped to create a vibrant and diverse culture. Scotland is also home to a number of minority groups, including the Scottish Travellers, who have their own distinct culture and traditions. Scotland is a place where people of all backgrounds can feel accepted and respected," explained one expat living in Scotland.
