Researchers at the Centre on the Dynamics of Ethnicity, co-hosted by the universities of Glasgow and Manchester, analysed recent censuses in Scotland.
They found that one in six Scottish households, which contain two or more people, is now multi-ethnic.
The 2011 census contained 850,000 people who were not identified as being "white Scottish", however, almost half of these were "white: other British".
This category of ethnicity numbered 417,000, up 10% in the decade to 2011, with about three-quarters of these being born in England.
Other minority groups have seen "considerable increases" in size, according to researchers, including the African, Chinese, Pakistani and Indian populations. » | Tuesday, May 27, 2014
