I find it ironic that the Scots who settled in North Carolina had to endure the naming of Cumberland County. Named after the Duke of Cumberland, winner of Culloden! What a welcome, huh?http://www.northcarolinahistory.org/commentary/110/entryhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumberland_County,_North_Carolinahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Culloden
Ironic indeed.
