The Scots have played an important role in the development and history of Quebec since the advent of British control
of the region after 1759. This presentation will provide an overview of the settlement of the Scots in the province
(with an emphasis on Montreal), the development of their own cultural institutions such as the Presbyterian Church,
voluntary associations such as St. Andrew’s Societies, the Sons of Scotland, and sports clubs organizing curling, golf
and shinty. There are a number of resources available to the family researcher, looking for information on their
Scottish-Quebec ancestors. These will be discussed, including the use of private or associational archives such
as the St. Andrew’s Society of Montreal.
