study of the Scottish diaspora? In terms of the Scots-Irish issue, should a transatlantic model not be one based on the Scotland-Ulster-American context? This also raises the issue of the need for more comparative work between the Scots and the ScotsIrish in a transatlantic American context, between those Scots who migrated directly to America and Scots who first settled in Ulster before leaving the north of Ireland in the large eighteenth century migrations. This raises a further issue that historians of Scotland need to ponder. From a Scots-Irish perspective and in terms of some of the recent publications of the Ulster Scots Agency, those Scots who migrated to Ulster were `changed' by that process and experience of settlement there and they became `Ulster Scots'. Yet when these Ulster Scots left for America they became Scots-Irish/Scotch-Irish. According to this analysis, the `Scotch-Irish/Scots-Irish' and the `Ulster Scots' are part of the same `group' as distinct from the `Scots'. One of the strengths of this book is that the complexity of the Scots-Irish experience is emphasised and several of the authors explain their deliberate use of the term `ScotsIrish' as opposed to `Scotch-Irish' in terms of identity in an American context.
