Western Maryland is lousy with Scots-Irish and Welsh immigrants yet that map shows nothing but Germans.

The map's based on people's self-definition, so the Scots-Irish are probably divided between those who consider themselves "American," "English," "Irish," "Scots-Irish" and "Scottish," while the German-Americans just say "German."
