It is 1893 and a writer sits in a temperance house attempting to write some jokes about Victorian society. His companion begins to describe the changing population of Scotland. The largest migrant population to Scotland is from England. Many Irish moved to Scotland to escape the potato famine. The Irish are very unpopular and are given the most undesirable jobs, they are regularly attacked and are blamed for everything from the weather to disease. Highlander landowners abandoned their estates to live extravagant lives in London. Cattle farming no longer made a profit so they decided to rear sheep and the people were evicted. The Duke of Sutherland went as far as employing people to burn down crofts to force his tenants to leave. There were also many Lithuanian and Jewish immigrants.
