Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

Scots and Poles are good buddies because we're the same kind of people – we work hard, play hard, like a drink. We're open, friendly, up for a laugh. What's not to like? I produce a monthly online magazine for Scots and Poles called Scotsbarszcz. It's completely and utterly free. Cherck it out at scotsbarszcz.com

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

Randal
Hi Randal. I'm new to this forum – and a Scot. I visited Poland for the first time this year – Poznan and Wroclaw – and was blown away. I had an absolutely fantastic time and fell in love with the country, the food, the people.

So much so that I'm about to launch an online magazine aimed at the Polish community in Scotland and Scots (and that means you!) with Polish interests, through family, friends, travel, business.

And you're right about the affinity between the Scots and the Poles. Did you know, for instance, that there has been travel between Scotland and Poland for more than 500 years? And that in the 17th century there were an estimated 40,000 Scots living in Poland? Or that an aberdeenshire man was mayor of Warsaw four times in the 17th century?

There are so many links down through the centuries it is breathtaking. Anyway, my mag should be due to launch in December, with a bit of luck. My email address is gercasty.mac@mac.com. Drop me a line if you'd like a look.

Cheers,

Gerry
