History
Although Scotland County is relatively young among North Carolina counties,
having been formed in 1899, it has a rich and interesting history. As is true
with all history, the history of this county is so entwined with our geography,
sociology, economics, and government that separating them is neither feasible
nor desirable.

Scotland County Cemeteries
Cemeteries are an important feature of our diverse
heritage. In addition to marking the final resting place of
our ancestors, they yield information about our state’s social,
religious, artistic, and cultural heritage. They also contain
genealogical information that cannot be found anywhere else.
