"Popularising the stories of new and old Scots working together" to supplement demographic facts & figures important way to engage Scotland's 'balancers' & broaden public support for future migration. New campaign is good effort to put that into practice.https://twitter.com/DrDMacaskill/status/988363415424000000 …

You miss the point. Scottish attitudes are quite similar to English attitudes on migration policy (though considerably more sceptical of Ukip discourse). If the policy is to target a rising population over time, will need to take people with them.

Even putting aside whether Scotland requires population growth, why the need for an expensive and socially divisive mass immigration policy instead of incentivising an increase in the birth rate
