SCOTLAND  saw the biggest rise in foreign immigrants last year than at any other time in recent history, pushing the  population  to a record high, new figures suggest. An estimated 42,300 people, including asylum seekers, came to  Scotland from overseas in the year to June last year. The latest mid-year  population  estimates from the General Register Office for  Scotland  also suggest that 16,900 people left  Scotland  to go overseas. The net increase of 25,400 immigrants is the highest since estimates began in 1991-92. Read the full story here.
