Certain islands, previously French, became British and the British government promoted settlement there. Small numbers of Scots also went to the Dutch and Danish West Indies, and Britain also acquired colonies on the east coast of South America, where vast sugar plantations were developed. Scots emigrants to the Caribbean were mostly men who chose to leave their families at home, possibly due to the unhealthy climate in the West Indies. Ships voyaging between Scotland and the Caribbean illustrate trade routes from Scotland, with passengers and manufactures such as linen and metalware on the outbound voyages, and raw materials, generally cotton, tobacco, sugar, and mahogany on the return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 29, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52637940154675,"sku":"9780806359786","price":38.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/UzNVg9K8OF9780806359786.webp?v=1762304093","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/scots-in-the-caribbean-1600-1900-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
