I did not really get the outstanding value of this TWHS. It was even hard to determine if you are in the Scotland district or outside. Scotland district is actually the nickname for the Saint Andrew district. I visited Morgan Lewis and the Saint Andrew’s Parish Church and drove up the country side. It’s a nice and not very populated part of the island. The description does (unlike for Barbados’ other TWHS) not even state under what criteria the site should be inscribed. If this gets inscribed it will be one of the sites you ask yourself if you are in it while you are in it. Not my favorite ones.
