Winter's Bone

I just want to peep in and mention that most of the Scottish culture in the area is probably derived from my folk, the Ulster-Scots, or if you will the Scots-Irish.

Why let the Highlanders take all the blame, I mean credit?

Beat you to it, several posts back.

Not only the Ulster-Scots, but a fair amount of German folklore in these parts as well. There are several German communities within the borders of the Ozarks (which is a disputed subject among geographers), and noted Ozarks folklorist Vance Randolph even mentions some beliefs that may have originated from Cherokee and Osage Indians, although that as well was in dispute.

So you did- for some reason I had to look several times to find it, I guess because recogition is so rare and unexpected. Therefore, no harm in having it repeated three times.

No, let's make it four: Scots Irish, not Highlanders!
