Did you know that 1 in 3 white men in Jamaica in the 1800s was Scottish? In this episode of the Scottish English Podcast, I delve into Scotland's deep connections to the transatlantic slave trade, challenging the misconception that slavery's impacts were distant. I look at Glasgow's prosperity from the tobacco and sugar industries, the role of Scots in Caribbean plantations, and the lingering effects of this history. This episode emphasises the importance of reckoning with these uncomfortable truths, modern debates on statues of slave-linked figures, educational reforms, and the question of reparations to build a truth-based Scottish pride.⬇️Download the FREE transcript from this episode here: https://kilted-english.com/index.php/home/scottish-english-podcast/❓Are you ready for your C1 Advanced Cambridge English Exam?
