Hello, William
I am Dr. Ron Barnette, who is working on a Florida Tartan Day Resolution with the Florida State Legislature. I am interested in Florida cities and county names that reflect the culture and names of Scottish influence. I saw your website on H to I in this regard. I have several examples, and ask if you can share more information.
Thank you so much.

WILL RESPONDS--
Hello Dr. Barnett:
Such entities that come to mind concerning Scottish-influenced names or places in Florida would be:
Dunedin: http://www.crazedfanboy.com/npcr/laflapcr227.html
Inverness and Inglis: http://www.crazedfanboy.com/npcr/laflapcr232.html
Sarasota: http://www.crazedfanboy.com/npcr/laflapcr242.html (Although it is not credited in my story, the Scots were very influential in Sarasota's history. You may want to consult with a historian in that area for further information).
Hope this helps, and keep up the great work!
William Moriaty
