Irelandâ??s economic problems did not always end with immigrants crossing the Atlantic to seek opportunities in the United States. Many Irish, chose to stay a bit closer to home and sought work in neighboring Scotland. Landlords quickly seized on the opportunity to exploit the situation and there, as well as here, tenements sprung up. Housing conditions as well as living conditions were very poor. Immigrants were subjected to cold, damp living conditions and overcrowding. However, whether it was in Scotland or America, Irish immigrants always shared a strong sense of community.
