Abstract
The Scottish diasporas to Africa occurred in different forms in the varied regions of Africa. There was some settlement in East and Central Africa, but in West Africa and elsewhere in the continent the prime influence, for good or ill, was through Christian missions and their educational, ethnological and medical work. In East Africa, Scots had a major role in the imperial take-over through the foundation and personnel of the Imperial British East Africa Company, while in South and Central Africa, Scots had profound effects upon the economic, educational, scientific and religious dimensions of white rule. Scots, however, were also instrumental in some places in supporting the emergence of African nationalism.
