Scotland County was a beautiful unconquered land
Where our forefathers had the courage to take a stand
Out of the wilderness they hewed and wrought
'Twas the land of beauty they had sought.
It was they who cleared the land and turned the loam
They who made it possible to have a safe and happy home
Now that we have a county with all its beauty
May we never forget our duty
To honor and preserve this soil
Bought with so much sacrifice and toil...

Welcome! My name is Shari and I adopted Scotland County because I am researching my family in this area. I hope this site becomes an amazing resource for genealogists with northeast Missouri roots, and I think that with everyone's help it will be. If you have any questions, comments, or contributions, please e-mail me anytime at scotland-co@geocities.com.
