Scotland County originated from an act of the North Carolina Legislature on February 20, 1899. Although it is a relatively new county, it has a long history as originally part of Anson County (formed in 1750) and later Richmond County (formed in 1779). This historically significant area was settled from the mid-1700's to early 1800's primarily by Highland Scots largely from Argyllshire but also by families from other areas of North Carolina, and neighboring states.

Many of Scotland County's pioneer families eventually migrated to South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. Present-day neighbors of Scotland County include: Richmond, Hoke, Moore and Robeson Counties. The county seat and largest town within the county is Laurinburg. South Carolina neighbors include Marlboro and Dillon Counties.

We hope that you enjoy your visit to the Scotland County NCGenWeb site. The links will provide you with additional information about your Scotland County ancestors. Please contact me if you have any suggestions or resources you would like to share on the site.
