To the Editor:

The New Scotland Historical Association and the New York State Archives Partnership Trust are pleased to invite you to a special program on Feb. 8 at 2 p.m. at the New Scotland Presbyterian Church: From One Highland to Another: The Black Watch in New York State.

Join New York Archives magazine and the New Scotland Historical Association for a riveting presentation. Originally sent abroad to fight in the War of 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 Watch’s role in some of the bloodiest battles that took place in New York and its contributions to Scottish immigration in the United States. Maureen Connor will open the program with a set of bagpipe tunes presently associated with the Black Watch.

The New Scotland Presbyterian Church is located at 2010 New Scotland Road in Slingerlands.
