§ Mr. RossPrecise information is not available about the destinations of overseas emigrants from Scotland, but the principal receiving countries (in descending order of numbers of emigrants) are Canada, Australia, the United States of America, New Zealand, and South Africa. I regret that the information available about the trades and professions of the emigrants is both incomplete and unreliable.
