When did the Scots move to NIreland?

The Scots began migrating to Northern Ireland, particularly during the 17th century, with significant waves occurring during the Ulster Plantation from 1606 onwards. This settlement was part of a plan by the English crown to colonize the northern part of Ireland with Protestant settlers, primarily from Scotland and England. The migration continued over the following decades, leading to the establishment of a strong Scots-Irish community in the region.
