In the last census Polish was the most commonly spoken language in Scotland after English, Scots and Gaelic. "About 12% of people in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow said they spoke other languages around the home."

"From soup kitchens, to community organising to charities supporting refugees, Glasgow is, like many places across the UK, full of individuals bringing us together across cultures, backgrounds and beliefs."

We're looking forward to welcoming everyone to the #NewScots Huddle this morning at the Greyfriars Charteris Centre.
The focus of this session is ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages), with #partner spotlights from @capitalcitypart.bsky.social, The Welcoming & Space @ the Broomhouse Hub.
I can't decide if these protesters are far right extremists or just really stupid. Are they really Glaswegian? #humanrights #efl #newscots #hatecrimes
Protesters pledge weekly disruption at Glasgow school over mums' English classes

I hated racism then.
I hate racism now.
I am a Scot, in Scotland.
It's not perfect, but we have a saying most of us are proud to live by:
'We're #AllJockTamsonsBairns'
We welcome #NewScots.
We are an outward looking nation.
We voted #Remain
We need #ScottishIndependence and a return to the EU.
