Lowland/Scotch-Irish/American Colonists vs. Highlanders.

[Tarheel]

There is certainly a varied history in N.C. There are the Scots that were also Quakers (my family being one) that supported neither side in violence but kept trade with both sides.

Even some of these had family members that fought for one side or another in wars since ... um ... the beginning of time. I am, as well as one member from every generation (as far back as 1740) have served proudly in the military. We take the burden of civil responsibility for our family upon our shoulders.

Wearing the kilt seems natural for a Scotsman (highlander or lowlander) but only a few of us can don a Quaker hat with ease.
