Synopses & Reviews
In this much longer sequel to his earlier collection of Scots-Irish Links, Parts 1 2, David Dobson sheds more light on a segment of the 100,000 Scotsmen who were re-settled by the British government in the Irish Plantation of Ulster during the 17th century. Drawing upon sources not consulted for the earlier volume, Mr. Dobson has come up with an additional 2,500 mostly Lowland Scots who re-settled in Ulster--in most instances prior to 1700. As with Scots-Irish Links, Parts 1 2, university students predominate among.
