Scottish Argentines are Argentine citizens of Scottish descent or Scottish-born people who reside in Argentina. A Scottish Argentine population has existed since at least 1825. Frequently, Scottish Argentines are wrongly referred to as English. Scottish Argentines celebrate Scottish culture and hold parades for Scottish celebrations, like Burns Night.
