A Scottish Jamaican is a Jamaican with Scottish ancestry. Scottish Jamaicans include those of European and mixed Asian and African 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 1200 prisoners of war were deported by Oliver Cromwell. There was also a later migration at the turn of the 18th century after the failed Darien colony in Panama.
