 On Prince Edward Island, MacDonald of Glenaladale attempted enforce what he thought were his feudal rights and newly arrived settlers were encouraged only to be tenants on his lands.However, once the more adventurous settlers got their bearings, many moved out of Scotchfort into better areas of the island, squatting upon those lands.In time Scotchfort became not a place for permanent settlement, but a place for newly arrived to get their bearings and move out and acquire lands of their own.
