Scotts Head, Dominica

At the top of the peninsula is the Scotts Head Lighthouse, a small lighted navigational aid[2] approximately 5 meters (16.4 ft) tall.

Each year, in June or July, the Scotts Head village holds an annual feast in honour of Saint Peter.

When the French retook Dominica in 1778 (only to hand it back in 1783 as a concession in the Treaty of Versailles), the fort at Scotts Head was the first invasion point and the site of the first skirmish.

[18][19][20] In anticipation of the invasion, French inhabitants of Dominica visited British troops at the fort on 6 September, getting them drunk and then spiking the cannons with sand.

[21][22] Once the fort was captured, the French fired a celebration signal, which was the first notice of the invasion the British had in the capital of Roseau to the north.
