Scottish Russians

Scottish Russians are Russians with full or partial Scottish ancestry. Scottish migration to Russia occurred primarily during the early 17th-century Polish–Muscovite War, the Ingrian War, and the Thirty Years' War. Some estimates of the number of Scottish settlers in Russia during the 17th century are as high as 100,000. This has led some demographers to believe that the current number of Russians of a partial Scottish descent (in a varying degree) could be up to 1 or 2 million. There are believed to be around 400 different Russian surnames that owe their names to Scottish ancestors.

Despite the long history of the Scottish presence in Russia, the 2021 Russian census was not recording individuals who claimed to be ethnic Scottish, it defined them as part of the British people instead, whose number was 1,167. According to the same census, nobody in Russia claimed to be a native speaker of Scottish Gaelic or Scots.
