Our State-The Magazine for North Carolina, October, 1999
CAROLINA SCOTS provides an opportunity to research and better understand one's Scottish heritage. The authors examine the social, political and religious aspects that form a rich culture, making a direct link from the Scottish Highlands to eastern North Carolina. They also provide a meticulous genealogy of three to five generations of 64 families who emigrated from Scotland to the Cape Fear Valley of North Carolina and the Pee Dee Valley of South Carolina from 1739 to the 1840s, blending straight genealogy with cultural life and economic history, including more than 100 photographs, maps and art.

Bha feum againn air leabhar mu Ghaidhealtachd Charolna: seo e. Leabhar bragha agus sgoileireil a tha seo, le fear a mhuinntir an Eilein Sgithanaich a thuinich a shinnsrean an Carolna a-Tuath an 1803. Cha do chaill Gaidhil Charolna riamh an ceangal ris an t-seann dthaich; chum iad an cuid Ghidhlig gu chionn fhada, s tha beagan aig Dubhghlas Ceallach fhin. Tha d leth san leabhar. Sa chiad leth tha cunntas air na Gaidhil an Alba s an Carolna; san dara leth tha cunntas mionaideach air teaghlaichean fa leth s an cuid shloinntireachd.
[translation: We have needed a book on the Highland Scots of Carolina: here it is. This is an attractive and scholarly book, whose author is of Isle of Skye stock, whence his great-grandfather came to North Carolina in 1803. The Carolina Gaels have never lost their connections with the old country; some of them have retained some Gaelic for a long time; Douglas Kelly himself knows a certain amount. The book has two parts. The first part explains the background of the Gaels in Scotland and in Carolina; the second part traces genealogically the connections of each of the (migrant) families.]
