Cabinet Secretary praises Polish contribution to Scotland and announces visit
Cabinet Secretary for Culture and External Affairs Fiona Hyslop has met with three generations of Scotland's Polish community to welcome the contribution of Polish Immigrants to Scottish life.
Meeting with Poles who moved to Scotland during and following the Second World War, their children, and more recent migrants to Scotland at the Polish Ex-Combatants Association in Edinburgh, Ms Hyslop condemned as "short sighted" the view that immigrants are a threat.
Ms Hyslop also announced that she will visit Poland next week, visiting Krakow and Warsaw and meeting with Government, Business and Cultural representatives.
And ahead of the visit, she stressed Scotland's welcoming attitude to Polish immigrants
