However, a lesser-known aspect of Scottish history deserves attention - the presence and contributions of Black Scots. Despite being a small minority, Black Scots have significantly shaped the nation's culture, economy, and society.

The presence of Black individuals in Scotland can be traced back to ancient times, with evidence of African soldiers serving in the Roman army stationed in the region. However, it was during the era of the transatlantic slave trade that the number of Black Scots increased significantly.

Many were brought to Scotland as enslaved individuals, while others arrived as free migrants seeking new opportunities. Their arrival in Scotland began a complex and diverse African presence.
