With the arrival of many Poles
Scotland streets have seen a major change in the last decade in fact
Polish is now the second most spoken language in Scottish homes

Scotland and the UK

and there are more and more Polish shops opening. Polish products also seem to
go down well with Scottish customers

as some Scottish people talk about writing in the last decade
there's been a huge increase in Polish people settling in Scotland
and by 2011 there were sixty seven thousand polls here
I think I've is much easier here for us
it was very hard to begin and because I'm from and we had a different
different culture

okay %ah
and Scotland so a major increase in Polish migration
after poland Jones Day you in 2004
let's roll to history there has been a close connection between Scotland and
Poland
since the late 14th century the Baltic region enjoyed strong trading Cisco
plant
my 217 sentry this city of guys course home to an estimated 30,000 Scots
even though the Scottish immigrants eventually became
integrated into the wider the dice community their legacy has been long
lasting
during the second world war Scotland received a big
insects of Polish people in fact it was we first as the Polish invasion before
we in Britain and realized what was happening
the fatal flaw brought us together we
the Scots and you the polls
after France was lost to the germans
more than 20,000 Polish soldiers came over to defend
our shores do
most of the Polish soldiers based in the UK during the war
was stationed here in Scotland and this map
is evidence of that you
Polish troops were stationed at Barney Casa Linda borders
under the command of General must check who designed a large screen mobile
Scotland's to plan coastal defences
but it wasn't until the 1970s he managed to realize his dream to construct this
amazing map
in three dimensions it is 50 meters across
and chill Scotland's mountains locks and coastline
one of the cartographers he brought over from critical to help build a map
was professor cuz your stress his younger brother is still much traffic us
for my strange quirk of fate is the police consul-general
based in Edinburgh show we do this in English or in four ish
heavy machine you prefer let's do it in English okay
do you think your brother was a bit much to build this whole big map of
Scotland's
since certain I I think it was a kind of challenge you know opportunity to to to
do something which is very
exceptional very different you know and so there was an Italian
maybe a public competition among the young scientists okay
its is my project you know it was dunno it's possible to
to do such a thing and and because it's very unusual
the map was built in recognition of the warm welcome given to polish soldiers in
the second world war
since its construction in the 1970s
it's been left to decay but now a Scottish organization
mother Scotland has be set up to return the compliment
to restart them up to its former glory it should be and nice and very warm
interesting at jus attraction for foreign tourists for Scott's as well
how many places where you can visit and you can see you know
the exact three-dimensional map of some part of territory is very unusual
so that's interesting you actually are now living in Scotland in Europe
cut let's say that's absolutely its
only coincidence and I didn't realize that I will stay here in the capacity of
police consul
and just to see you know what what I'm rather made in the beginning of
seventies
