Among them, Scots who were transported for their political or religious affiliations (which were often linked), such as Jacobites and Covenantors; or were transported as criminals; or were kidnapped by press gangs in Scotland and found themselves bound for the Caribbean; or, driven by poverty, emigrated seeking a better life; or fled to Jamaica after the failure of the Darien scheme.

There is little evidence that most of them ever returned to Scotland even when their period of indentured service ended.
Exactly. Well said.
