Scottish Americans or Scots Americans (Gaelic: Ameireaganaich Albannach) are citizens of the United States whose ancestry originates in Scotland. Scottish Americans are closely related to Ulster-Scots Americans, descendants of Ulster Scots, who in the US are part the same ethnic group. The majority of Ulster-Scots originally came from the lowlands and border country of Scotland before migrating to Ulster Province in Ireland (see Plantation of Ulster) and thence, beginning about five generations later, to North America in large numbers during the eighteenth century.
