culloden

Today is the anniversary of the horrible battle of Culloden in Scotland.  It was a brutal massacre by the English army. The last battle for freedom. Those who were left alive were imprisoned and either executed or banished from Scotland forever.  Many were put on ships to the New World and some found the mountains of North Carolina to be much like their highland homes.

 Here's  to the brave Scottish families who settled in the North Carolina mountains!
