I'm a Scot, born and bred in the South West of Scotland a few short miles from Ochiltree in Ayrshire. I recently retired and decided to take a DNA and begin researching my family tree, a project to fill my abundant free time. I have been amazed to discover that I'm 50% Scots 40% Irish and 10% Scandinavian. I have discovered so many distant relatives who moved between Scotland and Ireland and emigrated to Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and the United States. There are hundreds of them- all newly discovered with many living DNA relatives that I've made contact with. Their individual stories are fascinating. It has been an amazing voyage of discovery. This series has a new resonance for me.

Well as an Australian descendant of a Scottish Mum, our fierce independence of thought and spirit are much more in context now! Thankyou for this great bit of history, and helping us migrants ( refugees of violence and forced oppression, land theft and starvation) to recover some pieces of our much shattered but still so strong culture. It is great to finally be able to feel proud of my ancestors strength, courage and cleverness, resillience and free thinking, instead of feeling like a lost, victimised chattel, cut off from home and history. Whatever land a person lives in, the principles of truth, respect and accountability, caring for land and one another, security of home, family, business and body, and the capacity for free thought and speech are intrinsic to any peaceful society. Life without these is wasteful suffering. At all times, we should seek to do no harm. There are always intelligent solutions, mass murders are horrific and shameful ignorance. Thankyou.

In short, Ulster-Scots are loyal to the crown because it actually went out of its way to protect them and never threw them under the bus even when it wouldve benefited them. Also dont apply modern politics to this, this is just tradition if anything at this point, royalty doesnt really do anything anymore and its like saluting a flag, where you support what the flag stands for, not necessarily whos president/PM etc

"Born Fighting" by Senator Webb is part of my permanent library.

[@doogster2010]

Good film Senator Webb. I enjoyed it and learned much from it. As in your own family, some of my ancestors are from Ulster. Boyds, Dunnes and Nobles, to name a few. They emigrated from lowland Scotland to Ulster during the " Plantation" of the 1600's, I've been told. They have lived in or near Belfast, County Armagh and County Tyrone. My cousin, Wilson Boyd, served as a policeman in the Royal Ulster Constabulary at Enniskillen. Hisotrically, the Boyd clan fought for Robert the Bruce in Scotland and of course, many of us men look at Mel Gibson's Braveheart as one of the best movies made. A classic story of the Scottish fight for independence. I was able to visit my ancestral land of Ulster in 2000 and our family was warmly welcomed by my relatives there. Their ancestral connection to the area was palpable and I personally felt very much at home there. Beautiful country of hard working and warm people, who know when to break from work at day's end for some craic and whiskey with family and friends. I hope to return there again soon. Thank you for your military service Mr. Webb. Your narration of the film was inspirational and gives us a good reference for our fighting spirit.

A lot of karma there, especially in the decimation of the natural order of the US. The storms of recent days that seemed to focus on Buffalo came after the Ukrainian leader visited.recently. I sense these two matters are related and symbolic, as the genocide of the buffalo, or bison, was synonymous with the denigration of many spiritual cultures that lived in harmony with nature, who did not attempt to own the land, but act as stewards. Also, the link to Ukraine is an attempt to upheld Western values, which one one hand is contrary to a spiritual way of living, and has secondly incited the envious East. The WW3 and nuclear holocaust come ever closer, and with it the end of the US, and many parts of the world, as we know them. The Scots were not bad per se, simply seeking independence to live their way, and fierce-some in nature, just like their forefathers, some of whom were deeply spiritual, yet willing to fight to the death to defend their ways. In the end, we'll be judged according to our motives, and people do have a right to defend a way that is better than others, all the more so, if it is a righteous way. Whether the Scots ways were so I cannot tell ye, but I do know that the Picts and Wallace were righteous warriors!!! Definitely!!!

[@CrimsonEagle90]

@@markinvdenvers5424 There are inaccuracies with your statement because for one most Scotch-Irish Americans identify as just American on the census. Meaning that all of them are loyal to the United States of America by default. This applies to English Americans as well especially given most of my ancestry comes from England itself, and only some from the Ulster plantations. Southern pride also will not equal secession 2.0 because southerners such as myself are loyal to the nation itself. Which does not always mean government. Well known Appalachian border states like Kentucky and West Virginia also fought for the Union, not the Confederates. Irish Americans often have a different regional identity, especially the ones from New England. As for the James VI/I statement, that’s so easy to breakdown what ever propaganda you said. He was a Stuart yes, but he was also a Scottish Protestant. Scottish sense of religious freedom, perhaps their idea of freedom overall, and the majority of Ulster-Scots are tied to the Church of Scotland. Even if some Ulster Scots descend from Anglicans from England, most of them are Presbyterian. They are also often the most loyal people to the British crown in our modern era despite the Irish rebellions of 1641 and 1798. As well as the penal codes that kicked Ulster Scots out of religious leadership positions. To clarify this isn’t trying to say, “Ulster Scots in Ulster are not Irish.” This is only debunking propaganda that you replied with. Going back to the King James I subject, a lot of his loyalists were Protestants that used the Catholic moniker. Meaning those churches while still Protestant, were basically Catholic lite. In battles like the “Battle of the Boyne.” A lot of Williamite/anti Jacobite troops were also Ulster-Scots. Ulster Scots overall gave this great country(America) it’s sense of freedom, so to spread propaganda about how two ethnic groups in America are the same people while ignoring their histories and regional identities is very controversial.

They were from Scotland and formally trained in theology at the University of Glasgow in the late 1700s, but later renounced Presbyterianism and became independent; Thomas after moving to the colonies and Alexander shortly before moving here to join his father.

He became a trader with the Cherokee after release from servitude and married a Chiefs' daughter in 1727, where he lived the rest of his life. There are letters he and the Governor of the Colonies wrote to each other as well as at least two books written about him. I don't know how many other Scots came here the way he did, I have seen no information on anyone else, it would seem there must have been others. He was said to have been the son of the Grant Clan Laird. Some say he was the first Europeans to marry a Cherokee and it is said a quarter or more of registered Cherokees today descend from this marriage. That would be about 100,000 or so people.

Richard Hayward is a great writer on this subject, enlightening amusing if somewhat tendentious, to the point of being a headcase, but an Ulsterman with all that entails. God rest him.

Great book, a must read for anyone whose ancestors are Celtic. Explains in perfect detail wo we are as people.

Im Scottish, Irish, English, Gypsy, and a little bit Nigerian. But our family is mostly Scottish/Irish, my Irish side is from Ulster, as is my Barlow side lived in Ulster too!

Scott Irish, Cherokee and Italian. My mother called me Heinz 57! I have met my Scott Irish, Cherokee Indian kin in Appalachia West Virginia. That fighting spirit is in our bloodline and has sustained my people in those mountains and hollers for over a century. I just wish I knew what pattern of Tartan I could wear.

[@Seahorse1414]

The wearing of Tartan was an indentifier for Clans in the Highlands. Most of the population was not Highland based. Clans have Septs and many family names are associated with them . Tartans are relatively modern creations and are still being designed . It is easy to find out which surname has Clan associations and from there discover which Tartan linked to the name !

My ancestors were scottish/irish, wales and German. They came into america at chesepeke bay and were indentured servants who were there in the mid 1700s. By 1780 they were in northern Kentucky on land they were granted from war.

The Ulster-Scots (aka Scots-Irish) have a history to be proud of and we are still battling to defend our freedoms in our Ulster homeland.

You’re not from Ulster. You’re a shower of foreigners with no connection to the place. Only Irishmen are Ulstermen. Gaelic Irish. Celts. Not sone Mary Poppins brits like you people.

[@trevorjohnston777]

@Cian Ó C You're so stupid, The ancient Scoti, who were the original Gaelic speakers in Scotland, the ones gave their name to the country itself, invaded Scotland from Ulster, replacing the Picts. So, in reality, you and them are the exact same people; their ancestors just happened to leave for Scotland. It's also not like they had a choice to go back to Ulster. The Border Reivers were seen as expendable after the crown was unified, so they sent their enemies (the border reivers) to Ulster to fight their other enemies (The Irish) because they didn't want to get their own hands dirty and let Celt fight Celt. Open a book you pillock

[@corryjookit7818]

@@marythomas1198 The Scots in Ireland / Ulster goes back to a time when the King became enraged about his borders defence (no change there ) on the east and north of the country of Ireland. Duplicitous forces were also at work. He demanded solutions, and the plan was put to him, that they transplant farmers and their families there, giving them land, money, and got them to swear their loyalty to the Crown. These are the Scots who went to Ulster under the government plan. The people who went were also Presbyterians, NOT Catholic which was extremely important to the King is to put it mildly. The indigenous Irish people were Roman Catholic, which was about 95% of the population at that time. Laws introduced in Ireland meant that Catholics had to pay a % of an already low income to The Church of Ireland. It's mind boggling the laws that were introduced, mostly just affecting the Irish. Sorry, but this is very possibly an American affectation, and a need to belong, to be able to say "that's where I'm from". Some of America's people don't have the roots that many others enjoy in their ancestral tree, and the history entwined within. That's why they want to hold on to some history in their families, right or wrong. Scotland's the place to begin your search, but I'm not sure after that. What was done in and to Ireland is nothing short of a Holocaust. . It begins the same way , and ends the same way. Good luck, let me know how you get on if you like.

[@markinvdenvers5424]

@@corryjookit7818 In America, Scots-Irish & Irish are one and the same. We support Richmond, Virginia & Dublin, Ireland not London & Washington DC. The Plantation of Ulster was given to us by the Catholic King of Scotland James VI who later became James I of Scotland, England, Wales & Ireland. But the English Puritan, Cromwell, klled James I's Catholic son, Charles I (Stewart). After Puritan Englishman, Cromwell's demise, Charles I's son, Charles II (Stewart) took over. Upon his demise, Charles II's brother James II (Stewart) & a staunch Catholic took over. But the treasonous English Puritan Parliament invited the Dutch King, William of Orange, to overthrow our last Scottish Catholic ruler, James II of Scotland, England, Wales & Ireland. Our greatest leaders were Jefferson Davis, JFK & Reagan, but not O'Biden. Never trust the English. Keep America Scots & Irish! 🇮🇪🇺🇲💪🏻
