Thanks for that post. Having an Ulster Scot background, I just ordered that book the other day. Can't wait for it to arrive.

A good read, but probably a little white washing of some of the more negative aspects of the Scots-Irish. There is another book which I can't remember the name of about the Scottish Enlightenment and its affect on the founding of this country which I would consider a must read.

For the record- English(saxon)/Irish(southern Catholic) on my dad's side and Scot(highland)/German(Bavaria) on my mom's.
