The Highland Scots chose North Carolina in the 18th century primarily for the promise of land and the opportunity to establish a community where they could maintain their cultural identity and practices. Attracted by the region's fertile soil and the availability of land grants, they sought to escape the economic hardships and political turmoil of Scotland. Additionally, the British colonial government encouraged settlement in the Carolinas to bolster the population and develop the economy, making it an appealing destination for the Scots.
