The Alamo also has a Scottish connection. John McGregor, who was a native of Scotland, lived in Nacogdoches and was one of the defenders at the Alamo. He was also a bagpiper and had them with him during his time at the Alamo. Legend has it he would "duel" with Davy Crockett. Crockett on his fiddle and McGregor on his pipes.
Good to know somebody else actually cares about the "real" alamo and its history. They have the names of most of the soldiers who died there, and a good number of them are Scottish and Irish. A very good number.
