Theres no such thing as Ulster Irish as Ulster is in Ireland north and south so don't mean to sound cocky but you must have made that up :S secondly Ulster-Scots is the correct term , Scots-Irish is an American word that's never heard over here , so theres your answer ulster Irish doesnt exist there just Irish , Ulster-Scots are the protestant people living in the north east of the island , in the 6 counties that make up northern Ireland, there faith and political outlook sets them apart from us who are catholics and known as just Irish , but the island has been divided into 2 parts , the small part is northern Ireland and the much larger part is the republic which has a county more northerly than northern Ireland , but were still called the south , but to us down here im from dublin in the east Galway is in the west cork in the south and belfast in the north , so the four provinces marks that ulster=North leinster=east connaught=west munster=THE real SOUTH ..
so the differences between Scots Irish and ulster Scots is
Scots Irish are Americans of Irish and scottish desent and mostly catholic
ulster-Scots are the protestant people living in northern Ireland they have there own language and traditions just as we do, because were both so proud of our culture , we spent years killing each for control of the island so the majority took the larger part and the minority took the smaller part , hopefully someday it will reconcile and we can all live peacefully on this island..
