Basically da Scots who went 2 Ulster were actually Irish origins since the Scots came from Ulster anyway?

Question

I mean the majority of Scots came from Ireland anyway so when the Scots went to Ireland they called themselves or what they are to be known Scots-Irish, or Scotch-Irish so basically they Scots-Irish are Irish in the first place & going to Ulster means going back to their roots right?

Answer 1

Okay you win!!! What I can tell you- and it may not be politically correct to say this- is that DNA testing has proved beyond doubt that the Scots and the Irish are the same race.

Only politics and the church of Rome, have made them different.

The notions of being "Celtic", "Gaelic" or whatever, are entirely false.


However you obviously do not have a very good grasp of Scots psychology. We NEED something to argue about, some seething resentment we can nurture for hundreds of years.

Answer 2

Yes. Basically Scots were the people of the North of Ireland and they sailed over and conquered Scotland early in the first millennium AD. Not every single person from there went to Scotland though, a notable proportion stayed behind. The Scots kept close ties with their kin in Ireland for many centuries and some people migrated back and forth between the two places.

Answer 3

The history of Ireland has been one of continual invasion and the displacement of one people by another.
The first recorded inhabitants of the British Isles (Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man) are referred to in 325 BC by the Greek historian/explorer Ptolemy as the Pretani. The south of Ireland was inhabited by the Firbog and the north by the Cruithin (Picts). The proximity of the north of Ireland to Scotland meant Pictish kingdoms often encompassed parts of Scotland and the north of Ireland (Ulster).
By 300 BC the Celts arrived in Britain pushing as far north as Strathclyde in Scotland and from there, into Ireland. These Britonic Celts were the ancesters of the modern day Welsh. The Celtic tribe of the Ulaid (for whom Ulster is named) became the elite class in the north of Ireland living along side and sometimes ruling over the Cruithin. Around 200 BC the Gaels arrived in Ireland from the Iberian region of Spain and gradually pushed north. The Ulaid and Cruithin united in the face of a common enemy and built the defensive structure called Black Pigs Dyke (the remains of which still stands today) along the southern border of Ulster to halt the advance of the Gaels.
By 450 AD the more numerous Gaels had managed to gain control of most of the north of Ireland, with Ulster shrunken to encompass only the present day counties of Antrim and Down (the enlarged modern day Ulster boundaries were put in place by the government of the Tudor Elizabeth 1st for administrative purposes). The loss of territory led to the Ulaid/Cruithin looking for land elsewhere.
By 490 AD the Ulaid/Cruithin (named Scotti by the Romans) had established the kingdom of Dalriada in the Ayrshire and Galloway regions of Scotland. By this time the Gaels domination of Ireland had led to the Gaelic language becoming the spoken tongue of the now united Cruithin Picts and Ulaid Celts.
In 500 AD the Scotti king of Dalriada, Fergus Mac Ere ruled a kingdom that encompassed areas in both Scotland and Ulster. It is from Mac Ere that Scottish Royalty and therefore the British Monarchy are descended.

Answer 4

why do you keep asking the same basic question? You have an assignment due right?

Answer 5

Well, if you exclude those who were of Pictish, Norse, or Brythonic origins, yes.
