Can one assume that you mean the Highlands of Western Scotland? If so, they would probably have been Scots. The history books also show that they may have been called Borderlanders. Thanks. That suggests that they came either from the Scottish or the English side of the border, possibly from Cumbria (in England) or the the area of Sctland to the north of Carlisle. (Assuming, for the moment, that the 'western' reference is correct). The main hilly parts in those areas are
- 1. the Lake District (but that is probably too far south) and
- 2. practically the whole of southern Scotland between Gretna and Edinburgh.
See if you can find some good maps of the area. The answer would be borderlanders.

What did immigrants hope for when they came to America?
Most immigrants coming to America prior to the 20th century were hoping to find freedom from religious persecution.Actually, the only real Americans are native American, so even though most 'Americans' complain about immigrants, if they go back to their ancestors, they are in fact immigrants too. So the fact that immigrants come-for whatever reason, it makes the country a better place (and sorta increases the popularity)
Why did Americans have negative feelings towards immigrants?
Actually they don't. It is the loudest people that seem to make it seem that way. This is a nation of immigrants and 70% of the population ancestors came as immigrants at one time. Other nations are more homogeneous and as a consequence don't have the variety of foods, music, traditions ( the Christmas tree is from Germany. Halloween pumpkins began in Ireland) and the only true people who aren't immigrants is Native Americans. Many of our industrialists and inventors were immigrants and Jackson's parents were Irish immigrants. This is truly a melting pot of people and we are very lucky because of it.
