The Scottish influence on Jamaican culture primarily emerged through the arrival of Scottish settlers and plantation owners in the 17th and 18th centuries. They contributed to the development of the island's agricultural practices, particularly in sugar production, and introduced various cultural elements, including music, dance, and food. The blending of Scottish traditions with African and Creole influences created unique cultural expressions, such as the popular Folk Music styles. Additionally, Scottish Presbyterianism influenced religious practices and education in Jamaica.
