 Symposium examines roots of Scots-Irish culture
• “Ulster Scots and the Unionist/Nationalist Division.” Speakers include Flannery as moderator; Anne McCartney, associate director of the Centre for Irish Literature and Bibliography at the University of Ulster (Coleraine, Ireland); and Michael Montgomery, emeritus professor of English and linguistics at the University of South Carolina.
The Ulster Scots are the descendants of mostly Protestant Scottish people enticed by King James I to settled in what is now Northern Ireland starting in the early 1600s, sparking centuries of conflict with the displaced, Catholic, native Irish.
The symposium’s speakers—drawn from both American and Irish institutions—hope to add fresh perspective on the situation, contribute a better understanding of Scots-Irish heritage in both Ireland and the United States, and advance the process of reconciliation that is under way in the old country.

Kirk, John (1997) "Ulster English: the state of the art" in Hildegard Tristram ed.
Slight, and misconceived in suggesting that Anglo-Norman influence is lacking in Scots, but gives an interesting list of 100 words derived from Old English still surviving in Modern Scots.
Etymologies to be treated with caution - she emphasises similarities with Irish (whether borrowing from or into Irish or genetic), at the expense of derivations from Scots and English dialects.
