Being the Alba International Branch, it stands to reason that our members are mainly Scots who have moved beyond the shores of our beloved Scotland to live in another country. Be that just over the border in England, across the channel in Europe, or further afield to Australia or the USA, we join a long list of Scottish expatriates.

Given that we are Alba's international Branch it seems only right to consider the ' Scottish Diaspora' and how it has seen Scotland's influence around the world over many decades far exceed what you would expect of any country of Scotland's size and population.
