Edinburgh’s Growth Through Migration

Edinburgh’s population has soared by 9.4%—more than double Scotland’s average—thanks to a flood of overseas migrants, with a quarter choosing this city as their home. To celebrate and strengthen belonging, the council launches “Edinburgh is Our Home,” spotlighting residents like Vineet Lal, whose parents were trailblazers in diversity and inclusion. Saroj, Scotland’s first Asian female teacher, built vital interpreting services, while Amit founded the city’s Hindu Mandir. Vineet, raised here and now an activist, honors their legacy, recalling the racism his parents faced—and warns that today’s political climate could threaten Scotland’s welcoming spirit.
