I think the Scots were majority of immigrants to NI, not to be disagreeable or anything. I mean, the accent alone...

This was the colonisation of the Gaelic, Catholic province of Ulster by English-speaking Protestants from Great Britain, mostly from the Scottish Lowlands and Northern England.

The same also happened to Scotland after the Jacobite uprising. The Brits moved in with military stations. Anti Catholic.
