Among the peoples influencing American culture in a very large way are the so-called Scots-Irish. These folk are, as I understand it largely from Ulster. Further, I am under the impression that the bagpipes, either Uillean [sp?] or Highland are not part of their culture, they having migrated from the Scottish lowlands to Northern Ireland beginning in the first few decades of the 17th century. But what do I know? I'm a Dutchman.
