The English first arrived in 1169 (as Normans) but they were Christian, not Protestants. The Protestant Faith was established Martin Luther when he PROTESTED against the abuses in the Catholic Church. Following the English reformation under Henry VIII there was a desire to spread the Protestant faith to Ireland. This was done through a series of Plantations - Laois and Offaly were the first in 1556. However, the most successful plantation of Ireland was the 3rd Plantation - the Plantation of Ulster (1606). It is the legacy of this plantation which is largely responsible for the conflict between Ulster and the rest of Ireland, and the conflict within Ulster.
The roots of the Plantation stretch all the way back to 350BC when Gaels from the Iberian Peninsula first invaded Ireland. They waged a campaign of genocide against the native people, most of the survivors seeking refuge in Scotland. It was descendents of these refugees who (largely) made up the Plantation settlers. It is an interesting fact that Eoin McNeill, a leader of the Irish Republican movement during the early part of the 20th century, openly acknowledged this fact; indeed he went on to say that the Plantation should by right be called "The Homecoming".

There are many Boyd's in Ulster. Most of whom originated in Scotland. There are no specifically Ulster-Scots names as such but if the name is in Ireland and the family can be traced back further to Scotland then those people are likely to be Ulster-Scots.
Ulster Bank is also known as the Royal Bank Of Scotland. Most of Ulster Bank's locations will be found in the country of Scotland and throughout the rest of the United Kingdom.
The province which forms the entire geographic north of Ireland is called Ulster. It has nine counties. There is also what is called Northern Ireland which is most but not all of the province of Ulster. It contains six of the counties of Ulster.

It is in county Donegal, one the three Ulster counties that are in the Republic of Ireland and not in Northern Ireland.
