Why is Montserrat called Emerald island?
Montserrat is known as the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean partly because of its green landscape and partly because of its Irish heritage (Ireland is known as The Emerald Isle). Back in the 17th century, the majority of people in Montserrat were Irish, even though it was officially under British rule - this is because Irish Catholics were persecuted on other Caribbean islands. The Irish therefore left their stamp on the island in ways that can still be seen today - towns were given Irish names and nowadays many of the residents have Irish surnames. Montserrat is also the only country outside Ireland where St Patrick's Day is a national holiday. See www.visitmontserrat.com for more info!
