I suspect that a lot of songs of the sort you've mentioned are/were used for the purpose of getting people into the right frame of mind to go out and risk their lives fighting in wars. If you get people worked up enough, they'll do just about anything. I don't think that's a particularly Scots, Scots/Irish sort of thing. In fact, I've heard it suggested that it was one of the jobs of the Bards of early Celtic cultures not specific to Scotland to compose and sing songs that would do just that.

Some societies of Amerindians used their own variety of songs/chants to serve that purpose. I suspect that any culture that engages in warlike behavior has some sort of music or other device that would serve the purpose of preparing warriors mentally and emotionally for fighting.
