Pasts, Futures, and Connections Between Scotland, Ulster,1 and Ireland: a Critique of Some Historiographical Tendencies
G. K. Peatling IRSS 32 (2007) 33 Pasts, Futures, and Connections between Scotland, Ulster,1 and Ireland: a critique of some historiographical tendencies G. K.Peatling* The diversity of historical interactions between Scotland and modern Ireland, especially Northern Ireland, is not in doubt. But the nature and effect of the paramount Scottish influences upon Northern Ireland are disputed. That there are also cognate disputes pertaining to the future of Northern Ireland, and the likely future of relations between Scotland and Northern Ireland, raises fundamental questions as to the purpose of academic study of such historical questions. Even scholarly depictions of the past of Scottish-Irish connections may make implicit assumptions about how the legacy of these connections may impede or nurture certain future developments in both locations. To offer any such depiction may thus be to make political recommendations on some fiercely contested present controversies, such as the likely political future of these constituent nations or regions of the British Isles or north Atlantic archipelago. This paper reviews perceptions of likely futures of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland which historically-informed commentators have advanced, identifying four strands in such analyses. Because none of these perceptions are entirely sound, this essay is partly an illustration of the seductive, and at times delusive, attraction of historical and political parallels and analogies. Significantly however, a common deficiency in such analyses lies in exaggerations of the significance of connections, parallels and affinities between Northern Ireland (or Ireland) and Scotland. Armed thus with a caution as to the errors that such overstatements may produce, this paper offers its own estimates * Dr Gary Peatling is Lecturer in European/British History at the University of Plymouth. -

Highland Heritage: Scottish Americans in the American South'
H-South Sankey on Ray, 'Highland Heritage: Scottish Americans in the American South' Review published on Wednesday, August 1, 2001 Celeste Ray. Highland Heritage: Scottish Americans in the American South. Chapel Hill and London: University of North Carolina Press, 2001. xix + 256 pp. $16.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-8078-4913-2. Reviewed by Margaret Sankey (Department of History, Auburn University ) Published on H-South (August, 2001) Living and Remembering a Constructed Past: Southerners and Highland Games My parents used to live next door to a family, who, despite a very German surname, were aggressively and professionally Scottish, to the extent that at any given time, one of their five children was taking bagpipe lessons, and they could be counted on to turn out for any parade or civic event in full Highland regalia. Celeste Ray, an anthropologist at the University of the South, has produced an explanation and an examination of this phenomena, particularly as it is experienced in the southern United States. Based largely on her interviews and observations at a number of regional Highland Games, Ray has produced a fascinating account of a comparatively modern (post WWII) movement amongst Scottish Americans to construct a heritage. Interestingly, this is one in which recent changes in gender roles and family structure are replaced by a highly militarized and male- dominated culture. This new "Highland Heritage" is an eclectic blend of Highland and Lowland Scottish traditions, melding the lowland "Burns' Supper" with Highland attire and, strangely, the lowland religion (Presbyterianism). In many ways, this syncretic approach smoothes over the potential historical and cultural fault lines among Scottish Americans, including differences in dates of emigration, the awkwardness of Scottish loyalism in the American Revolution, and the distinctive feuds between opposition groups in Scotland. -
Ethnicity, Country of Birth and Language
STATISTICS BULLETIN Coverage: Northern Ireland Date: 28 June 2013, 09:30am Geographical Area: Northern Ireland Theme: Population Census 2011: Detailed Characteristics for Northern Ireland on Ethnicity, Country of Birth and Language Summary The Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency has today released further results from the 2011 Census, which was held on 27 March 2011. Comprising the second phase of the Detailed Characteristics release, these statistics focus on the topics of Ethnicity, Country of Birth and Language and consider how these interact with a range of Census topics, for example, by comparing the age profile of people whose main language is English with the age profile of people whose main language is not English. The first phase of Detailed Characteristics, published on 16 May 2013, covered Health, Religion and National identity, while the third phase, to be published later in the summer, will focus on Housing and the Labour Market. The Census is widely acknowledged as playing a fundamental and unique role in the provision of comprehensive and robust population statistics. Census information is needed to inform policy, to plan services for specific groups of people and, especially, to make effective use of resources through distributing them to where they are needed most. Key users of information from the Census include central and local government, academia, organisations undertaking research, the private, business and voluntary sectors and the general public. Key Points: Ethnicity and Age 1. Usual residents from the Asian, Black, Mixed or Other main ethnic groups had younger age profiles than those who were of White ethnicity. For instance, 93 per cent of people of Mixed ethnicity were aged under 45 years, compared with 87 per cent of those who were of Black origin, 82 per cent of people of Asian ethnicity, 76 per cent of those from Other ethnic groups and 61 per cent of 1 people who were ethnically White. -
