Scotts Head is named after Captain Scott, an English soldier who helped snatch the island from the French in 1761. Don t believe stories about a Scotsman who was beheaded by the Caribs here. They re not true.
Back on the coast highway, heading south from Soufri re, you soon come to Scotts Head. This is one of the prettiest standby relocations bits of land on the island. A narrow strip of land connects the lively fishing village of Scotts Head with the southernmost promontory tip of the island where Fort Cachacrou once stood. Most of the fort has long ago crumbled and fallen into the ocean, but you can climb to the top of the peninsula for an awesome view in every direction Martinique, 20 miles to the south; the coast of Dominica, to the north; and the meeting of the Atlantic and the Caribbean, to the east.
