ItisderivedfromtheCaribIndianwordfor themarinecrocodile,whichisnowknownto havelivedontheislands.Thisname,ora variant,hasbeenretainedeversince.Thus thewordeventuallydevelopedintoCayman and adding the word islands, we became the‘CaymanIslands’. Who were the First Inhabitants? ThefirstrecordedEnglishvisitorwhovisited ourshoreswasSirFrancisDrakein1589.

Likewise, on Grand Cayman there was more land to cultivate. As a result, the settlements of East End and Bodden Town were founded around the same time. The earliest population record of the Cayman Islands goes back to the year 1774 when it was estimatedthatatotalof176personslived ontheislands.

Our dialect The Caymanian dialect is a form of nonstandard English that contains traces of Scottish, Cornish, Welsh and North American accents blended with a unique form of broken English. The latter is attributed to an 18th century influx of exslavesfromvariouspartsoftheCaribbean including hispanic immigrants from Cuba andHonduras. Since the 18th century, the Caymanian dialect has evolved harmoniously throughoutthethreeislandsdespitealack of infrastructure which separated the key districts.Thoseperiodsofseparationhave alsomadeaprofoundimpactonthedialect itself as many Caymanians are now able to distinguish the origins of one another based on accent.

Heritage Sites & Nature Trails Savour the glory of spectacular cliff walks on the 140-foot bluff thrusting vertically from the ocean floor. Have a close encounter with magnificent Frigatebirds and Brown Boobies and marvel at how these winged creatures are held aloft by air currents rising from the sheer bluff face. Explore the caves in which generations of Brackers have taken refuge during storms. Our wetland ponds harbour a wide selection of Herons and shore birds, including the rare West Indian WhistlingDuck. Many pause to rest and feed on their long migratory journey between North and South America. Some of these travellers, such as the Migrant Warblers, spend the winter in our woodlands. Our heritage sites are marked on the map. The painted panels tell the story of early settlement, and the ecology of our wetlands and protected birds – the Booby and the Cayman Brac Parrot. Ceramic interpretive signs and ecology panels give information on beach walks, historic sites and hikes on the woodland trails. Here trees and plants are clearly identified: the Tropical Cedar (the parrot’s favourite for a cavity nest), the endemic Silver Thatch Palm, Pepper Cinnamon, orchids and cacti. Brac Parrot, with a population of only 350.

If you hike alone, inform your hotel of your intended routes. The limestone cracks easily, so be aware on the hiking paths — and never go too close to the edge of the Bluff.

It is the highest point on this island as well as through-out the Cayman trio. On the Bluff there are literally hundreds of caves of all sizes. In the caves are bats and other living creatures. Cayman Brac Museum The Cayman Brac Museum offers residents and visitors alike a glimpse of the past. The old historic building is one of the oldest structures on Cayman Brac. It once housed many Government departments and is still referred to as ‘The Old Government Administration Building’. It contains a vast collection of artifacts and relics of the past. Wall of Honour, a relief of Christopher Columbus and several boardwalks and gazebos constructed to fit in with the natural surroundings. The Wall of Honour, has the names of 500 persons who have made a significant contribution to Cayman Brac and Little Cayman over its 500 year history. Cayman Brac Heritage House The acre of beautifully landscaped grounds dotted with thatched gazebos and fountains includes an old-fashioned well and tannery, as well as Cola Cave (used to shelter the former estate owners during hurricanes), with informational panels. The main building, though new, replicates a traditional house; the interior has a few displays and videos depicting Brac history, but the treat is watching local artists at work. It’s a great resource for books on natural history and Caymanian crafts; daily slide shows, various cultural events, and talks by visiting naturalists are often scheduled. Call ahead before visiting to make sure that the house is open. Open weekdays 9:30am - 1pm and 2pm - 5pm, Saturday 10am - 3pm.
