JEWISH COMMUNITIES AND CONGREGATIONS IN SCOTLAND
Latest update or revision: 26 January 2012
There is no evidence of Jewish settlement in Scotland before the mid-17th century, when various converted Jews were to be found at Scottish Universities. The first professing Jew to settle in Scotland is believed to be a David Brown, in Edinburgh in 1691, where a small Jewish community grew up. The first synagogue and cemetery were opened in 1816.
