I wouldn't think so, sIx, as these were Scots Presbyterians and not Gaels. They were a part of the Plantation system, and actually sought to displace Gaelic culture. That is greatly simplified generalization, but they surely didn't bring the language of the Gaels. They would have been English speakers brought to displace the native Irish. The migration that Sandy refers to took place much earlier. Certain Gaels, fled to what later became Scotland, settling in the highlands. They had a great deal to do with the creation of the clan structure, brought there language and customs, and (I am told) bagpipes and whiskey. Over the centuries these transplants, influenced by these and other cultures, became what we now know as the Scot.
