The Cape Fear river region of North Carolina is an area that has greatly benefited from this export, in particular during the 18th, and early 19th Century.

The focus of this site is on places and events in the Cape Fear region of North Carolina that should be of interest to anyone desiring to learn more about their heritage, and wishing to expand their knowledge of Scots in North Carolina. Also, to be included in this focus will be some of the rich cultural resources these early Scotch settlers left to posterity. This site is sponsored by the

Click here for more detail. A History Just as they were the vanguards of civilization in other regions of America west of the Appalachians, the Scots formed the first large group of settlers in Central Texas. This type was indomitable, hard and sometimes ruthless, but always independent, courageous, and had a passionate love of knowledge and freedom. Major Sterling C. Robertson, 2nd generation removed from his Scottish emigrant ancestor, was surveying in Central Texas during the winter of 1823-24. Most of the 600 families that he introduced into Central Texas were of Scottish origin. His friend and helper in the later part of the colony was Alexander Thomson, another Scot. In fact, many Texas counties bear the name of Scots. In her desire to construct a program under the auspices of the Central Texas Area Museum, Inc., wherein each nationality active in the founding of Central Texas would be honored, Mrs. Sterling C. Robertson, Secretary and Program Chairperson, decided that the Scots, because of the priority of their arrival in the region, should be accorded priority of representation. All Texas became interested in this educational and cultural program.
