A poll, which is the first study of attitudes to immigration in Scotland since 2014, discovered that 47% of Glaswegians would like to see immigration increased.
Nearly half of Glasgow's residents would like to see an increase in immigration, according to a new survey. Scots are "broadly comfortable" with migration and almost three-fifths believe it has a positive impact on the country.
Speaking about the research, for which 1,162 people were questioned, Diffley Partnership founder and director Mark Diffley said: "The issue of migration has been high on the political agenda for a long time and this new research contributes some much-needed insight into the experiences and attitudes of people across Scotland.
Just over a third of those questioned said immigration levels should stay the same, while 28% want to see them reduce - 12% by a little and 16% by a lot.Sign up to our daily Glasgow Live newsletter here to receive news and features direct to your inbox Meanwhile, only 30% said they feel immigrants are a burden on welfare services, with 47% disagreeing with this, while less than a quarter agree that immigrants worsen crime, with 41% disagreeing.
