In the late
1950s and early
1960s, there
was a Scottish
Dancer Club at
Fayetteville High
School. They
promoted their
Scottish heritage
and many girls
auditioned
for the club.
Performing
at the Miss
FHS pageant
and at the
Homecoming
and Sadie
Hawkins Dance,
the club was
quite popular.

"If you are born in
North Carolina,
then there is a very
good chance you
have some Scottish
heritage," Mooney
said. "It is said that
there are more people
of Scottish descent in
North Carolina than
anywhere else in the
world."
Besides a great exercise, Mooney sees highland dancing as
a great gateway for young people to learn more about
a fascinating and centuries old history.
