Celebrating Scotland in Mississippi
G'on yersel Greenwood, Mississippi - where on October 23 the local Presbyterians will be celebrating all things Scottish.
You know the kind of thing Kilts, Tartans, Bagpipes....and then Greenwood being in the deep South and the locals being Presbyterian they'll get together a gang and go lynch some papists.
Hot Diggedy!

The deep south has many connections to Scotland, and also Northern Ireland. Ulster-Scots settled the area in droves in the 18th and early 19th centuries.

A truly excellent antidote to depression brought on by the nation's current ailments.
Sadly, the KKK also seem to have been formed by southerners with a Scottish connection. Ah well, can't have it all...
