The Research Triangle ESU Branch held an event on Sunday, November 3, 2024 at the University Club in Raleigh.  Members and guests gathered for a buffet luncheon and program.  Many attendees donned Scottish attire and regalia in honor of our esteemed guest speaker, Donald McLeod, FSA Scot.  McLeod spoke on the odyssey of the Scots-Irish (Ulster Scots) from Scotland borders to Ulster in Ireland and then on to North Carolina.  Ulster Scots were pioneers in NC in educational and political development.  Three US presidents from North Carolina were Ulster Scots:  Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, and Andrew Johnson.  Many of us have Ulster Scot Heritage!
