This is a work to show the many contributions of the large Scottish population in Colonial Virginia and Colonial Williamsburg, and to dispel misconceptions regarding them.

And, finally the unfortunate miscreants who ended up in the Virginia Gazette and were often called Scotchman, or described as Scottish by name, attire or physical attributes.
