The Scotland County Highland Games is pleased to welcome Moores Creek National Battlefield as part of our celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. They are located at space A4 on the Games Site Map.
From the Park website:
In the early morning hours of February 27, 1776, Loyalist forces charged across a partially dismantled Moores Creek Bridge. Beyond the bridge, nearly 1,000 North Carolina Patriots waited quietly with cannons and muskets poised to fire. This battle marked the last broadsword charge by Scottish Highlanders and the first significant victory for the Patriots in the American Revolution.
