[edit] Articles for Polish Scots (Scots Polish) and Lithuanian Scots

Both have sizeable communities in Scotland (recent and past) and Poland also has historical links with Scotland.

It would be great to start these two articles, the Scottish goverment have great articles on both commuities. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elitejcx (talk • contribs) 00:23, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I'm interested in this topic. The article could be improved with more information

If Scotland's population is about 5 million, and about 100,000 people in Scotland are of partial Italian descent, then that means that about 1 in 50 people in Scotland is of Italian descent (which is a lot). The percentage is probably higher in Glasgow and the surrounding area but I have a few questions:

• Why did they choose to emigrate to Scotland in particular?
• Do surnames such as "Dalgarno" have Italian origins? Are merchants like Matthew Algie representative of the Italian Scottish population?

[edit] =====================================================================================

During the Italian presidential elections there was a story on Scotland Today suggesting that Italian voter census estimated that there was upwards of 75,000 Scots (i.e Italian grandparent) elligable for the vote

Have you visted the Barga link at the bottom of the page?

I think Scottish surnames like Rossi, Dalgarno, DeMoray and DiRollo have Norman origin. They may have Italian origin but I'm not to sure.

I'd imagine Ayr has a high percentage of Italians as well, my father grew up in Ayr and many of his neighbours and school friends had Italian parents.

[edit] Gerard Way

Does he belong in this list or is this a case of vandalism? Nothing in the article supports his inclusion as a Scottish-Italian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gwaptiva (talk • contribs) 16:10, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
