How are Poles treated in Edinburgh?
How are Poles treated in Edinburgh?
I am from Poland and I am planning to learn at University of Edinburgh. I've been many times to Scotland (I have relatives in Lochwinnoch) but I never actually lived there. Is there any discrimination among students? How do Scots treat people from Poland? I've heard about Scottish youngsters attacking people from Poland and shouting, that 'Polish people steal their jobs' etc..

Much better than they treat people from England!
2 :
Nobody ever attacked me in Edinburgh and i didn't see any discrimination. I am Polish too.

During world war 2, many poles trained near Edinburgh. Quite a few married local girls and settled down. So Edinburgh people are more than used to Poles and people with Polish names. Eveyone from Edinburgh knows somebody of Polish origin. There is no anti-polish predudice. They like Poles and even marry them! You will have to get used to the old jokes such as: !. Pole reading eye test chart " read it? I know him! 2. People saying "Mansion, kiwi, pledge, .well its Polish! ArgHHHHHHHHHHH!

No doubt, better than they are treated in Poland, or they wouldn't be coming here in droves.
