Scotland Playing Its Part

Council leaders have confirmed Scotland can provide shelter to at least 2,000 Syrians, with refugees expected to arrive in some areas before Christmas.

David O'Neill, the leader of the local government organisation Cosla, confirmed authorities' willingness to help in the wake of the refugee crisis which has hit Europe.

All 32 councils in Scotland are willing to play a part in a coordinated response, although refugees will not necessarily be rehomed in every single area.
