Red Legs in Barbados

Have you ever heard the term "poor whites, ecky beckies, poor backras or edey white mice"? Red legs in Barbados are a dying close-knit community that can be found predominantly in the parish of St. John but also scattered throughout other parts of Barbados. These are the many direct descendants of the Scottish and Irish who were removed from their homes and sent against their will way back in 1655 to the Caribbean.
