Ireland and Scotland have had close cultural ties going back to Neolithic times. en.wikipedia.org There are two points in Scotland that are nearest Ireland, The Mull of Kintyre and Port Patrick near Stranraer. The traffic between Ireland and Scotland has been constant for thousands of years and continues to this day. Boris Johnstone recently wanted to build a bridge between the two countries but it’s impractical. The Romans never got as far as Ireland. That empire petered out while fighting the Welsh and the Scottish tribes of the time. The Irish had an easy time of things until the Vikings came along and found Ireland and easy store of slaves and goods to assist with trade in other countries. Then the English invaded Ireland. Various religious factions existed as England and parts of Scotland had previously become Protestant. This resulted in a few centuries of conflict. history.co.uk When the Irish “Partition” was considered in 1921 a civil war broke out in Southern Ireland as one faction wanted all of Ireland to be one country, the other wanted an Irish Free State (Eire) without further trouble. bbc.co.uk There was a minority of Protestants who were loyalists to the British crown and these concentrated living in the North. Eventually the Irish faction that wanted a United Ireland were defeated and the State of Northern Ireland existed, as did the Irish Free State (Eire). The border was deliberately chosen by the power brokers in England to maximise the amount of land in Northern Ireland but where the occupants still had a majority of Protestants or “Loyalists”. They even cut through individual counties to achieve this aim. However, the Catholic Pope does not ban contraception for no reason. It does so to maximise political power over time. Thus the Catholic portion in Northern Ireland has increased percentage wise so a Catholic majority now exists, or soon will exist. For a period of time, a Catholic in Northern Ireland was a second class citizen. Less access to jobs and all sorts of discrimination. That’s all changed now, or supposed to have changed. Because of the intermingling of culture and travel between Scotland and Northern Ireland, particularly Glasgow and the West Coast, it’s like a watered down version of Northern Ireland with enclaves of Catholics and Protestants. The “Marching Season” celebrating Protestant victories over the Catholics occurs in Northern Ireland but also in some towns and cities in Scotland. It’s not such a big deal though in Scotland. nationalgeographic.com There was a big push on Orange marches in Scotland when the Scottish Referendum was in play. "Queen and Country" I was reminded by from several Scotsman at the time. Actor David Tennent relates. The "United Ireland" (IRA) crowd are just a aggressive and tedious of course. Once it passes off as good natured banter it's OK. History is history.
