====Scotland==== With the precedent of a historical alliance — the [[Auld Alliance]] — between Scotland and France, Huguenots were mostly welcomed to, and found refuge in the nation from around the year 1700.<ref>{{cite book|author=Kathy Chater|title=Tracing Your Huguenot Ancestors: A Guide for Family Historians|date=2012|publisher=[[Pen & Sword]]|isbn=978-1848846104|quote=Combined with what was called the '[[Auld Alliance]]' between Scotland and France (England's traditional enemy), this meant that French Huguenots found Scotland a welcoming refuge.}}</ref> Although they did not settle in Scotland in such significant numbers as in other regions of Britain and Ireland, Huguenots have been romanticised, and are generally considered to have contributed greatly to Scottish culture.<ref>{{cite journal|title=[[The Scots Magazine]]|publisher=[[DC Thomson]]|edition=Volume 60|quote=Scotland owes a great deal to the Huguenots. They were the flower of France, and the persecution, epitomised by the [[St Bartholomew's Day massacre|massacre of St Bartholomew's Day]], 1572, which drove so many to seek refuge abroad, enriched our nation}}</ref> [[John Arnold Fleming]] wrote extensively of the French Protestant group's impact on the nation in his 1953 ''Huguenot Influence in Scotland'',<ref>{{cite book|author=John Arnold Fleming|author-link=John Arnold Fleming|title=Huguenot influence in Scotland|date=1953|publisher=W. Maclellan}}</ref> while sociologist [[Abraham Lavender]], who has explored how the ethnic group transformed over generations "from Mediterranean Catholics to White Anglo-Saxon Protestants", has analyzed how Huguenot adherence to [[Calvinist]] customs helped facilitate compatibility with the Scottish people.<ref>{{cite book|title=French Huguenots: From Mediterranean Catholics to White Anglo-Saxon Protestants|author=Abraham Lavender|author-link=Abraham Lavender|date=1989|publisher=[[Peter Lang (publisher)|Peter Lang]]|isbn=978-0820411361|quote=In Scotland, the Huguenots 'became part of the warp and woof of the Scottish nation. They followed the tenets of [[John Calvin]] and made their contribution social, religious and commercial' (Reaman 1966; 95).}}</ref>
