Members met to discuss Scotland County issues at the Chamber Economic Summit. The Chamber is beginning to show the results of improvements from the Capital Campaign. We'll add more photos as work progresses. Golfers enjoyed a good meal after spending the day on the course at the Chamber's Thirteenth Annual Golf Outing.
Scotland County's ideal location is convenient to the famed golf courses of Pinehurst, the Uwharrie Mountains, and coastal attractions ranging from the Grand Strand of Myrtle Beach, SC to the beautiful North Carolina beaches. If your passion is NASCAR, the Rockingham and Darlington tracks are each less than an hour away

Scotland County has its own attractions to be proud of including public and private golf courses carved from the contours of sandhills and quiet streams. Residents also enjoy public tennis courts, a state bicycle route, the National Lumbee River Canoe Trail, a county-maintained hiking trail, and challenges for the serious and recreational fisherman.

John Blue Cotton Festival

Over 10,000 visitors come to Scotland County each year for the annual John Blue Cotton Festival. The festival is held on the grounds of the historic John Blue House during the second weekend of October. This "old timey" event features crafts, antique collections, "hit and miss" engines, entertainment, food, and demonstrations of 19th century games and farming practices.

Also located on the grounds of the John Blue House are a restored and operational pre-Civil War cotton gin, authentic log cabins, and the newly acquired Cotton Blossom Railroad.
Tours of the house & grounds are available during business hours
