What’s it about
The time period “Scots-Irish” refers back to the descendants of the Scottish emigrants who migrated to the Irish Province of Ulster on the behest of the English crown. The Plantation of Ulster by Scots starting in 1606 is a well known established truth. Whereas most of settlers have been from the Scottish Lowlands, some, particularly within the late sixteenth century, have been Highlanders.
