A number of reasons. Just a few to start - It wasn't unusual - The Irish and Scottish had been cross migrating for centuries. One can see Scotland from Giant's Causeway. The economy was horrendous. The English historically persecuted Scottish Catholics ( not sure of the McClelland religion) so many left. The English were still recruiting Lowland Scots ( not Catholics) to settle in Ireland in order to eliminate Catholicism and native Irish culture. This overlaps with the English effort to settle the migration of Protestants escaping wars on the European continent and to settle the US colonies. Hope this helps.

To be fair it should be mentioned that when Catholics were in power in Scotland, they persecuted non-Catholics, causing many to go to N. Ireland so they would not have to sign a declaration of faith for the Catholic religion. I was reading online last week about the Agnews of Wigtown on the southern coast of Scotland. The Agnews had been hereditary Sheriffs there for several generations. When Sir Andrew Agnew was the Sheriff he was scolded by the government for not enforcing the rule requiring all subjects to sign the declaration and finally removed as Sheriff and Catholic Highland soldiers were sent to enforce the rule. To avoid having to sign the declaration, Sir Andrew went to his N. Ireland lands for a good while as did several other protestants from Southern Scotland. As I see it, a lot of the religious persecution was done for political purposes by all sides, the Protestants, Catholics and Church of England which I think is a shame since all 3 are Christians in basic beliefs. In my Kincaid family, they left Scotland for Ulster after the Uprising of 1688 since they were on the losing side. They then came to the then Colonies in mid 1700's. My father told me we were Scots-Irish-Welsh but I have never found the Welsh connection. Also have not found Joseph Kincaid's parents in Ulster. His name was spelled Kinkead on some early documents in the Colony of Virginia. Don W.

Don't forget that there was a widespread reign of terror in Scotland after the Battle of Culloden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Culloden) as thousands were executed, deported and hounded out of their homes, mainly in the Highlands. Also in the late 1700s there were mutinies among Scottish regiments that probably contributed to the diaspora. Roy
