The '''West Indies''' were, at least in [[1746]], [[British]] colonies. The [[English]] solicitor [[Grey (The Highlanders)|Grey]] led a scheme in that year to transplant [[Scot]]s there under the false impression that they would be able to work off their passage after seven years of labour. | The '''West Indies''' were, at least in [[1746]], [[British]] colonies. The [[English]] solicitor [[Grey (The Highlanders)|Grey]] led a scheme in that year to transplant [[Scot]]s there under the false impression that they would be able to work off their passage after seven years of labour. In fact, the Scots were really being made [[slavery|slaves]] to work [[plantation]]s there. Had not the [[Second Doctor]] intervened, [[Jamie McCrimmon]] and [[Ben Jackson]] would have both ended up in the West Indies as slaves.
