“…Galloway & Murray (1996) have shown how migration out of medieval Scotland generally obeyed the laws of distance decay, but with significant movement to London -and with such movement being of the better-off or more skilled. The 19th century provided new migration destinations for the British population through industrialisation in other parts of the kingdom, and London's migration field became relatively more limited to the South-East (Lawton, 1967).…”

This paper considers the residential distribution of the Scotland-and Wales-bom in London in relation to other migrant groups. It goes on to consider the ecological character of the neighbourhoods in which they are concentrated, and it uses the 1991 SARs to identify individual-level characteristics. Overall the Wales-born are shown to have a higher level of educational and occupational attainment than those born in Scotland and to be associated with more middle-class neighbourhoods. However, evidence is presented that the Scotland-bom are a more varied population, with contrasts between those living in the inner and outer parts of London. The paper concludes with a discussion of the role that London plays in the migration and urban systems of the United Kingdom as a whole.

Alien subsidies suggest that many men and few women immigrated to England between 1440 and 1487. This article examines the one exception to this pattern: the large numbers of Scotswomen assessed as aliens in Cumberland, Westmorland, and Northumberland in 1440. It considers why so many women are found in these particular returns, what we can know about them, and how this knowledge might change our histories of women, labor, and mobility in both Scotland and England.I n the mid-fifteenth century, somewhere between 1 and 2 percent of England's inhabitants (about 6 percent in London) were immigrants. Most-about three-quarters-came from a handful of nearby realms: from France, Scotland, and Ireland, or from the Low Countries and German states (often collectively called "the Dutch"). 1 Many settled, or at least were recorded by head-counters, near to their points of entry-Scots in the north of England, Irish in the southwest, Dutch in East Anglia, French all along the south coast, and a great variety in London. The vast majority of these immigrants were men or boys-about 85 non-native-born males reported for every 15 females. Real numbers were not as out of kilter as these reported numbers, for enumerators rarely recorded wives and probably under-recorded unmarried women (a common problem in medieval tallies). Yet even allowing for these slippages, the sex ratio of England's immigrants was dramatically askew. Many different sorts of "aliens" moved to England in the fifteenth century, but most were men and boys.This essay examines the one exception to this rule: the plethora of immigrant women who were recorded in 1440 as living and working in Cumberland, Westmorland, and Northumberland.
