the scots have a long influential history in Jamaica,
they helped shape the language and speech of Jamaica and even have a history of slavery and indentured servants threw out the anglo west indies,
Many artists and great business people and crafts men are still in the islands who are the off spring of these early settlers.
and some migration well into the 20th century continued.
