    3. 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 Carrie Thomas-Dominguez wrote: > Is there anyone that can tell me where I might find information on the town > of Iverness?
