Description:... Modern Ulster-Scots are the descendants of lowland Scots who began to settle in Ulster in significant numbers in the first decade of the 17th century. They make up the greatest number of the majority community in Northern Ireland. This book looks at them against the background of their past history, and in the broader context of changing circumstances at the close of the 20th century.
