Although much of the UK's immigration happens in England, what effect do you feel immigration has on Scottish culture and the preservation of historical sites?

I have to ask then, what are you working to preserve? If cultures change all the time, what benefit is there in remembering what they were previously? A nebulous sense of welcoming and openness is present in many cultures, is this really the only aspect of Scottish culture that needs protection? If that is the case, then Scottish culture is nothing unique.

Immigrants by and large feel less connection to historical sites than natives, why should they, their ancestors didn't build it. As the immigrant population grows and the native population shrinks, the overall populations concern for historical sites shrinks with them. As the concern diminishes, the population will allocate less and less funds for preservation. Eventually, the population will reach a point where there is so little concern for historical sites, few will be compelled to protest their demolition if a better use for the land arises.
