so what is the plan?

A recent example would be that the island of Lewis had its first scheduled Sunday ferry service two weeks ago.

Language / Learning to speak Polish options. [17]

Gaelic is a fantastic language and very poetic. Some Gaelic sayings just dont have a similair translation in English or lose some of the effect.

If you can, visit the MOD, an experience you will never forget, and probably never fully remember !

Planning is essential. This is a long standing problem to which there will be no quick fix.

Migration will be strictly controlled.

Scotland is mostly a rural country and the Govt is sensitive to the impact migration can have in rural areas with a rich culture.

So, to get back on topic,,,,Scotland needs migrants to fuel an economic recovery.

Demographics suggest that with an ageing population, Scotland needs to attract workers to earn the revenue which will fund the social infrastructure.

Interesting that there is a thread about Polands shrinking population too as Polish migrants were credited with fuelling a boost in the Scottish birth rate ( first time in around 150 yrs ).

It could be deduced that the increase in the birth rate suggests an....ahem.... willingness to accept migrants.

Right, I still fail to see why Scotland needs to be importing foreigners.

I believe ya, honest.
In order to do so I would need to clog up the thread with Clipart.

Explain to me why it is good thing?

Workers pay tax - tax pays for care for those that can't work.

Use the search bar and look for "noimagination" - its all been said before.

what is the unemployment rate in Scotland?

tinyurl/mp8zk8 - Immigrants steal Google in Ireland
The employment rate is a better guide - now at 74.4%, higher than that of the UK most of the EU.

There is to be a consultation process on the proposal, but in his article Mr Murphy writes of the demographic challenge facing Scotland, with an ageing population and the need to recruit in sectors such as tourism.

Immigrants coming to Scotland could earn extra points towards UK citizenship applications.

The link is over a year old.

When was the last time the Telegraph printed something positive about Scotland ?

The Telegraph is Britains biggest selling daily "quality" paper with a circultion of 843, 000.

In Scotland it sells around 23, 000. - Enough said.

If it comes back again then it might be worth checking your anode rod hasn't corroded ( immersion ).
If your tank makes a lot of noise when heating, this could be an indication of sediment being disturbed.
