Did they call themselves "Ulster Scots" ? Don't think so as half of those immigrants were from all parts of Ireland. So cut out the revisionism.

I remember reading somewhere that visitors to Valley Forge, or whatever Washington's winter camp was called, reported hearing Gaelic spoken anong the soldiers there. But that it was Galloway Gaelic, a now extinct dialect. Ever heard anything about that?

Pat Aherne They certainly did call themselves Ulster men, and they didn’t speak with an Irish accent. My people were from the borderlands and they also called themselves Ulster men.

@@ProfileP246 correct. most of these ulster scots would have still been full scots having lived in ireland for a few years or even months then leaving for amerikay due to the anti scottish troubles in ireland. so aye, they would still have had their scottish accents. taking their scottish fiddle music and sangs with them.

yes it's very thorough

For sure.

For sure.

@@barry5356 thank you very much!

I know this might be a little late, but it is verse 8 of the 52 Psalm from the 1650 Scottish Psalter. The tradition that sadly was lost in America was to sing the Psalms of David unaccompanied. You can rarely find a Presbyterian church which upholds this doctrine of scripture today.

true

Ha, you're a bit obsessed by this topic, especially given your Irish name. ps, a century later is 5 generations.

@@Anhorish collins is an anglo-norman name taken there when the anglo-normans invaded and settled ireland. american fiddle music would have it,s origins in scotland.

@@brucecollins4729 O'Cullane or Cullane is Irish which was Anglicized to Collins. It could also be French or Scottish. If Anglo-norman, it's a 1000 years old in Ireland which unless you have some metaphysical essence in mind makes it Irish, or Viking as the Normans were Northmen settled in France. Go back far enough and I'm sure you could claim them as an Aryan tribe from the Steppes. You seem to have a very selective cutoff point for identity and don't seem to understand the history of Scotland, its culture, or of your own surname. From the Ulster Plantation to the mass emigration to USA was a century but you feel the need to suggest Ulster had no impact on Scottish colonizers. It was at least practice for colonizing the natives.

@@Anhorish the o,s macs arrived in ireland with the scottish galoglas . you think because you change collins to gaelic it will make it look ancient...no... the scots could do the same or the welsh. i understand my culture well. most irish history is made up tales by medieval irish monks(as your own irish historians concede) to give ireland an identity . if you want to write about selective cut of points lets start with the mythical scotti that,s supposed to have colonised scotland the west coast of england and wales. (fabricated tales). it,s a very detailed history alang with all the other tribes that left ireland to settle scotland.(ireland must have been like southampton docks back in the day). noo, here,s the irish cut off point....nobody can give me a detailed history of how the mythical scotti/ gael got to ireland in the first place. you can also enlighten me as to what culture came from ireland into scotland.
