What comes from Scotland?

Answer 1

Not exactly. Scottish people are a mongrel race. From Scandanavian countries, English, the indigenous population (the picts) and the Irish. Scotland took it's name from the Irish 'Scotti' tribe who settled in what is now Scotland in the dark ages.

Answer 2

Scots-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.
