"From One Highland to Another": The Black Watch in New York State

  • New Scotland Presbyterian Church 2010 New Scotland Road Slingerlands, NY, 12159 United States (map)

Join New York Archives Magazine and the New Scotland Historical Association on February 8th at 2:00 PM for a riveting presentation: "From One Highland to Another."
Originally sent abroad to fight in the War of the Austrian Succession, The Black Watch later found solace in the Adirondacks. These highlands were not only reminiscent of the Watch’s homeland, but safeguarded their culture.

Author Francis Kneussle will lead a fascinating talk on The Black’s Watch’s role in some of the bloodiest battles taken place in New York and their contributions to Scottish immigration in the United States.
