Considering the landings and migrations pre-Revolution, it's not too difficult to see how an amalgamation of the Lowland/Ulster & Highland Scots cultures/trappings would have occurred... over here.
But the graphic from the article shows the point explicitly: The Highlanders from the Cape Fear Region (Cross Creek and Campbelltown) duked it out during the Revolution with the Scotch-Irish in the Piedmont Backcountry (and some Lowland/Borders Scots who settled there with them). Some of the Highlanders stayed after the Revolution, some went north to Canada or back to Scotland. The two groups didn't really mix, as far as I can tell. The only thing in common was that both groups tended to be Presbyterian. Very little Episcopal or RC in either area of the state.
