Australian family facing deportation highlights UK immigration headache

By Elisabeth O’Leary EDINBURGH (Reuters) – An Australian family who came to Scotland four years ago during a drive to attract people to live in rural areas, is now battling deportation under British immigration rules which changed after they arrived. Kathryn and Gregg Brain and their seven-year-old son Lachlan, who has learned Scotland’s ancient Gaelic language at school, arrived in 2011 as part of a plan backed by the British government to help prop up an aging and shrinking population in the Highlands. “If we are not a poster family for successful immigration, I’m not sure who is,” said Gregg Brain, a 48-year-old Australian health and safety expert who faces deportation on Tuesday along with his wife Kathryn, also 48, and Lachlan.
