Scots-Irish

[Blackrose87]

Many (most?) Ulster Unionists and Ulster Scots describe themselves as Irish and a large proportion of Nationalists do not currently favour a united Ireland. Lots of people here have two passports, me included.

Sorry, what's a united Ireland got to do with this discussion?
I cant see where Nationalist politics were mentioned previously. I apologise if I mentioned such politics, but I don't think I did, as I have tried to remain with the forum rules. I understand it is hard to avoid politic labelswhen describing different communities in the north of Ireland , as they are often the easiest to use. But nowhere have I went into my views on the current political situation there, and I would be grateful if you did not either. I would prefer if this thread wasn't closed by the moderators, so please don't bring your political views into this discussion.

Anyway, yes most Ulster-Scots describe themselves as Irish, with Scottish ancestry. Hence the term Ulster-Scot.
