I don't know if any one answered your message or not, but when I was in the
union springs area, I was searching for the community of Scotland. I saw a sign
that showed an arrow turning off the road to Troy. I found Scotland to just be a
few houses and Bethel Church. They have at least kept the signs so you know
where they "were". There is a town of Inverness that is a suburb of Birmingham.
I doubt there is two of them in the state. Scotland, Blue's Old Stand, Perote,
Aberfoil and all those communities were just that, a few houses. and small
signs. But what a beautiful area they are in! My GGGrandfather is buried at
Scotland. I live in Ala, so if I can help..............just ask! ..........Raye
