Most of the Highland Scots came into NC at the Cape Fear (they either came to NC or Nova Scotia, two radically different climates). The Scot/Irish mostly moved into the western part of the Piedmont of NC as they migrated down from Virginia and Pennsylvanian. It has been a while since I read them, but I do have a book by Duane Meyer, "The Highland Scots of North Carolina, 1732-1776 and Billy Kennedy, "The Scots-Irish in the Carolinas"sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-11340557831808334672012-06-14T15:41:42.473-04:002012-06-14T15:41:42.473-04:00Can you still see the split in settlement with tho...Can you still see the split in settlement with those from Ireland and UK with Anglo surnames and those with Scot/Native Irish ones.

The very best one is the Ice-Cream vans bell. Parents told kids that the man rings the bell when he's empty. Anyway I'm certain you'll sleep like a baby while the kid drives you.<br /><br />Sounds like a good trip was had. But how coming from those environs can you stand the damp wet freezing cold of Michigan.
