Here in Britain, the term "Scots-Irish" doesn't exist and understandably I was confused when I heard an American friend describe her heritage as such. I thought it meant a little bit of both Scottish and Irish (she has a very Irish surname which kinda lends credence to this). We just call them Ulster here and from what I believe they're largely of Scottish stock due to most native Irish being Catholics and the huge taboo on intermarriage between them and Protestants.
