Scottish Connections around the World In here you will find lots of
information on Scottish connections in various countries around the world.
Each country page we send
you to in here gives an overview of that country by providing a series of
links to outside sources. That said, on each page you will find at
the top a link to "History on Electric Scotland" and that will send you to
all the Scottish information we carry about that country.
It is probably worth mentioning that it is estimated that some 800,000
Scots of the present generation are thought to have emigrated to England,
Wales and Ireland. Figures to our knowledge are not available to tell of
the considerable number of Scots who emigrated, worked and died in England
but we believe it is a considerable number.
