The Scots in Early Georgia

[KFCarter]

Thanks a lot, Carter, for this terrific thread.

Anyone who hasn't visited the old fort south of Savannah should do so--great history lesson.

And--just let me say--we might want to keep nort Georgia off the radar. It's so far superior to Atlanta and its environs (where I live) that we don't want word to get out. People might start coming there and spoil our playground.

Good point, re North Georgia. The coast down here is littered with forts, Fort Pulaski out Tybee way, Old Fort Jackson, Fort Frederica... recently redone Battlefield Park in Savannah which is on the site of Savannah's revolutionary war battle and features a reconstruction of the British redoubt... goes on and on.

Hope you can make our Highland Games on May 9... they're on a beautiful and historic site as well... Bethesda Home for Boys. And stay tuned to this thread... I'm asking some of my friends at the Georgia Historical Society to mine some more interesting Scots-related tidbits for us.
