We can make a home anywhere

When I think of being a Traveller, I think of the closeness of family

Family is of great importance to Scottish Gypsy/Travellers, with many still travelling and/or living together as extended family units. This close-knit community provides great support, companionship and protection for the Gypsy/Traveller population - and is not dependent on living a transient lifestyle. Even today, for many Gypsy/Traveller families, caring for relatives is not generally done outwith the family, and it is still relatively rare to see an elderly Gypsy/Traveller in a care home or a child placed in a nursery.
