Description
Scots-Irish Origins: Plantation of Londonderry c1600-1670 provides a detailed history of the Scottish colonists who settled in Ulster during the 17th century. Drawing from primary source material, including muster rolls and court records, Robert Forrest sheds light on the lives of hundreds of Lowland Scots who migrated to Ulster as part of the British plantation scheme. The book explores the development of the Scottish colony in Londonderry, tracing several migratory waves of Scots colonists during the seventeenth century. Forrest examines the economic factors that drove many settlers to leave Scotland, and how they contributed to the maintenance of the Ulster plantation. This volume makes available for the first time two important genealogical sources, providing valuable insights into the history of the Scots-Irish. By examining these primary sources, Forrest has created a comprehensive account of the 'Plantation of Londonderry c.1600-1670', offering a unique perspective on this significant period in Irish and Scottish history.
