The
Scottish Reformed Church in Elbing,
Prussia was founded by Scottish immigrants to
Elbing. In the 16th century the
Hanseatic League trade city near the
Baltic Sea had a large trade volume with England and many English and Scots had come to live in Elbing. The Scottish founded the reformed church of Elbing . They also formed the brotherhood of Scottish Nation of the reformed church, registered as
Bruderschaft Schottischer Nation der reformierten Gemeinde in Elbing. Many of these people did not return to Britain and took on Elbing City State citizenship. Protestant Saint Mary church in Elbing had many family grave sites with names such as Ramsey and Slocume until 1945. In 1945 Elbing was taken over by Communist
Soviet Union and Poland. The Polish administrators bulldozed over all German graveyards to remove all traces in what they claim as regained land, after they had expelled all German population to west of the
Odra-Nysa line and moved in people from east of the Bug River.
