A Scottish Argentine population has existed for 180 years.[1] There are an estimated 100,000 Argentines of Scottish ancestry, the most of any country outside the Anglosphere.[2] Frequently, Scottish Argentines are wrongly referred to as English.[3]

History

The first Argentine woman to earn a Doctor of Medicine degree was Cecilia Grierson, of Scottish ancestry.[4]

There have been Scottish Gaelic classes in Buenos Aires for over ten years now, and they are taken by Guillermo Santana MacKinlay, who is himself a Scottish Argentine.[2]

Introduction of football

The so-called "father of Argentine football" was a Glaswegian schoolteacher, Alexander Watson Hutton, who first taught football at St. Andrew's School in Buenos Aires in the early 1880s. On 4 February 1884[5] he founded the Buenos Aires English High School [sic] where he continued to instruct the pupils in the game.[6] In 1891 Hutton established the Association Argentine Football League,[7] the first football league outside of the British Isles.[8] Five clubs competed but only one season was ever played.

His son Arnold Watson Hutton (1886–1951) was an Argentine football striker for the Argentina national team. He also played cricket, tennis and waterpolo for Argentina.
