Hi folks: The first URL tells you of the official Goverment of Ireland and the migration of the Scots to Ireland and thence to America, you can click on any of the side items for more detailed esplainations. The second URL is Irish songs and singing. Gordon Crooks This is a fascinating website devoted to the history of the James Hamilton & Hugh Montgomery Settlement of Co Antrim and Co Down. In May 1606 over 10,000 lowland Scots crossed over from Galloway to Ulster. This was the start of the history of the Scots in Ireland. http://www.hamiltonmontgomery1606.com/ Suddenly the song Carrickfergus has fuller meaning for me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKAJpHTkzL8 __._,_.___ Switch to: Text-Only, Daily Digest .
