The Colonels, she doesn't have any Irish in her (well sometimes, lol).

Nay, pure highland Scot. Isle of Skye specifically. Most the the scotch/irish were lowlanders relocated to the Ulster plantations.

Pure Irish.
Mothers family in Mayo,fathers family in Laoise

Aye

Warrior, some even came from England. Who do think started the fight with the kings church also known as the Church of England? And they started it there. Almost if not all Ulsters were Protestant. Good save by the way.
Me

Several different coat of arms this is the Scottish one and then there is an Irish. My great great grandfather always said scott/Irish .

Aye.......




Garry-

Thank you Sir, your post is the one that got me to post this question, but being a newbie I just didn't want to argue anymore, your post pushed me over the hump.

Scott, Scotts, Scotch, the different waves of immigrants used differing terms to identify or differentiate themselves from others. Thanks.

Lol....i gotta laugh , plaids are like the O.G. gang colors.

Modern day thugs in gangs think they are cool because they wear certain colors to represent their gang .

Plaids go back 1000 years or so. The battles clans had back then would make today's gang turf wars look like a complete joke.

Yup, the Tudors took an opportunity to pretty much offload the trouble makers in the north of England and the border reivers in the lowlands and plant them in Ireland to try to tamp down the native irish.

The Scots, BTW, were also protestant. Calvinist Presbyterians not Church of England.

Mine stayed catholic for the longest as did much of the western isles.

Good German boy here
