Irish-Scots are people who live in Scotland who are of immediate or traceably distinct Irish ancestry. Although migration between Ireland and Scotland has an established history (both ways) owing to their close proximity Irish migration to Scotland increased exponentially in the nineteenth century and was particularly strong following the Great Famine.
