I haven't done a lot of research on my Ulster Scots but you've certainly helped give me an idea of the mindset they must have had.

If you do some research on the Ulster-Scots in any of the online sites about Irish History, you will have some more insight into this, too. The Ulster-Scots of Ireland were in fact Scottish people who had been recruited by the English, in their efforts to subdue and control Ireland, to resettle in Ireland through offers of land, etc. They had no real wish to become "Irish," often did not even associate with the true Irish people, and viewed their tenancy as temporary, so often continued to refer to themselves as Scottish.

The main "real" Scots are clumped in with the English lines (Quakers, as opposed to the Baptists and Presbyterians of the Ulster Scots families).Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.com
