Provisions made under the Empire Settlement Act of 1922 ensured that the British government would meet up to fifty per cent of the cost involved in relocating people to the Commonwealth countries of Canada and Australasia. Charitable institutions such as the Salvation Army were encouraged to meet the remainder of costs and assist people to leave the U.K

In 1923, over 88,500 people left Scotland forever. This represents almost 2 per cent of the population at this time
