      • 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. There was also a later migration at the turn of the 18th century, after the failed Darien colony in Panama. In 1707, Scots gained access to England's preexisting colonies when the Act of Union took place.
