There
are 254 counties in Texas, and of these there are at least
113 of Scottish connections. There are some that probably
had Scottish origins, but it is hard to know for sure (i.e.,
"Collingsworth " where the root word "Collins"
is Scottish). Several are of Irish origin, thirty eight
are named for surrounding features, four for Indian tribes
and the remaining are of Spanish and other ethnic origins,
making the names from Scottish ancestry in the majority.
