Scottish North Sea fishermen repairing nets in Peterhead, Scotland, April, 2014. Immigrants have become a mainstay of Scotland’s farming and fishing industries. Migrant workers from eastern Europe seek employment and a fresh start, and are willing to do jobs local people won’t, to crew boats and work in fish factories. Scottish Seafood Association chief executive John Cox said: “Without the ethnic workers, we would have a major capacity problem processing all the fish that’s being landed. The problem in the north-east is the oil and energy employment attracts all the available local labour.
