∙ 13y agoScots-Irish (in the United States Scotch-Irish) are descendants of settlers in the province of Ulster in Northern Ireland. These forced settlements in the 1600s were called the Plantation of Ulster. The English government thought they could pacify the "unruly" Irish Catholic natives by systematically repopulating Ireland with Protestant settlers from The Scottish lowlands, northern England, as well as Protestant refugees from Flanders and France. Since the lowland Scots made up the overwhelming majority, this new group became known as Scotch-Irish regardless of their actual ethnicity. The plantation began in Ulster, which was sparsely populated.
The plantation was a mixed bag. In some places the settlers and natives got along reasonably well and in other places they didn't. Some intermarriages doubtless did occur but for the most part the Protestant settlers and the Catholic native Irish rarely intermarried even in places in Ireland with little conflict. The Scots-Irish did not therefore arise as a result of interbreeding between Scottish and Irish people. This new group was no longer culturally Scottish but could no be called Irish either. A new hyphenated term (like African-American or French-Canadian) was developed to describe this new ethnic group.

Scotland has its own government but why can't you get a Scottish passport?
Yes, Scotland has its own government, but it is a devolved government, meaning that Scotland is still joined to the United Kingdom. As this is the case, when it comes to issues like Passports people in Scotland still have to us a British passport. Until Scotland gets Independence, this will continue to be the case. Once Scotland becomes independent, Scottish citizens will then be able to apply for Scottish passports as Scotland will then be sovereign and, like other independent nations, have its own embassies abroad.
