Love / Do Polish people like Scottish people (friendship or relationship with a Scot)? [56]
Many of them did. Especially in 16th and 17th centuries we had waves of Scottish immigration to Poland. They settled mostly in cities, but also founded their own settlements; even today we still have villages called Szkocja (Scotland) or Szkoty (Scots). They eventually assimilated and assumed Polish-sounding names (e.g. Czamer (Chalmers), Czochran (Cochrane), Dziaksen (Jackson), Kabron (Cockburn), Machlejd (Macleod), Szynkler (Sinclair)), so many Poles are actually Scots without even realising it. :)
only real freedom Scots may find within Slavic civilization
