The island is really one large hill with slopes running down to the coast.The eastern shore is rocky but there are some fine beaches on the western, leeward side. Like Carriacou, Petite Martinique was first settled by the French, and many islanders have names of French origin. Fishing and boatbuilding are still the main occupations. Some corn and peas are grown and sheep and goats graze freely over the hills. Everything else has to be imported. Although the island has electricity and telephones, the lack of rivers has made water a valuable resource, and all homes have a storage tank to collect rainwater running off the roof. There is a small medical centre, visited by a government doctor from Carriacou once a week, post office, school and a small Catholic church. Other denominations hold outdoor services. The island has its own Carnival, which is held the two days before Lent, and at Easter a two-day regatta is hosted. However, the French heritage still lives on in relative.

  • Scots in the West Indies in the Colonial Period: a View from the Archives
    SCOTTISH ARCHIVES 2016 Volume 22 © The Scottish Records Association Viewpoint Scots in the West Indies in the Colonial Period: A View from the Archives Stephen Mullen In the incipient historiography of Scotland and the West Indies in the colonial period, historians have adopted distinct methodologies and approaches to archival research. First, some have taken a metropolitan-based approach and used source material accordingly. For example, T. C. Smout’s early work on sugar houses and the development of Glasgow are classic cis-atlantic studies based on Scottish records such as port and customs records.1 Secondly, other historians have adopted a trans atlantic approach and utilised material generated and stored in institutions in both Great Britain and the Caribbean. Alan Karras’s pioneering book Sojourners in the Sun (1992) utilised material in the National Library of Scotland, National Records of Scotland (then the Scottish Records Office) as well as archival sources located in America and Jamaica.2 This strategy was followed by Douglas Hamilton in Scotland, the Caribbean and the Atlantic World, 1750–1820 (2005).3 Records revealing activities across the Atlantic world were generated in both Scotland and the Caribbean at the time. For example, the ledgers and journals of Alexander Houston & Co. – the premier Glasgow–West India firm before bankruptcy in 1805 – reveal much about mercantile practices in eighteenth- century Glasgow.4 Plantations records were also systematically generated in the West Indies to be sent back to Great Britain to absentee owners. The Stirling of Keir papers in Glasgow City Archives is one of Scotland’s most comprehensive collections related to Scots in eighteenth-century Jamaica.
