Scottish Jamaicans are Jamaicans of Scottish descent. Scottish Jamaicans include those of European, mixed African, and Asian ancestry with Scottish ancestors and date back to the earliest period of post-Spanish European colonisation.
An early influx of Scots came in 1656 when Oliver Cromwell deported 1200 prisoners of war.[1] There was also a later migration at the turn of the 18th century, after the failed Darien colony in Panama.[1] In 1707, Scots gained access to England's preexisting colonies when the Act of Union took place.
