Scotland: Refugee success stories
Overview
This collection of individuals' stories celebrates the success of people who have fled persecution and made their homes in Scotland.
They are contributing to their communities and to diverse fields of Scottish society including law, business and the arts.
The stories trace over 100 years of people finding sanctuary in Scotland and they highlight the root causes of asylum: the conflicts and human rights abuses of the 20th century that have forced so many to flee their homes, unable to return.
