Scotland doesn't have England's immigration problems because immigrants generally don't want to go to Scotland. It's easy to be virtuous when the problem doesn't affect you.

Fewer migrants come to Scotland than England, but again: migrants come to Scotland, they enrich society, and their population is demographically useful.

It was shown very recently that 'concern' over immigration in the UK is correlated to newspaper reporting, not levels of migration.
