I think you mean "Scots-Irish" (not Scotch-Irish, although they are sometimes [incorrectly] called that in the United States).
They are also know as "Ulster Irish". They were Scottish Presbyterians who immigrated to Ireland in the 17th & 18 centuries.
In a way, it was turnabout. After all the "Scotti" who gave Scotland their name were originally an Irish tribe ...

A Scotch is a drink. A Scot is a human.
