The Scots played an outsized role in Texas history, but were later overshadowed by other immigrant groups who came in larger numbers (Germans, Czechs, Poles, etc.).

Much of the first wave of Anglo settlement in Texas was composed of Scots/Scots-Irish. Read T.R. Fehrenbach's excellent history Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans to learn more about their role.

You can read the remarks of Andrew Morrison, delivered at the Tartan Day commemoration at the Alamo some years ago in the link below.

As a Cameron, you'll appreciate the story of Ewan Cameron, for whom the city and county of Cameron are named:

The Scots have been VERY influential in Texas.
