- A landmark TV mini-series first aired nationally in 1988 on Channel Four. This Docu-Drama tells the story of the Ulster-Scots, the Presbyterian pioneers from Scotland that settled the dangerous frontiers of Ulster, and then later many of whom journeyed to the wild frontiers of colonial America to help shape a new nation.
Part One of Four:
This episode covers the 17th century, from the birth of the Ulster-Scots / Scots-Irish in the beginning of the 1600's in Ulster, (the northern province on the island of Ireland) to emigration to British colonial America in the early 1700's.

This is the kind of documentary that should be aired on the History Channel. As much as I enjoy American Pickers, the History Channel seems to have been taken over in a silent coup by Mike and Frank. But, of course, a program such as God's Frontiersmen would be considered too long for the attention span of most people today, and it would probably be hacked to pieces in order to squeeze in 30 minutes of mind-destroying advertisements. Thus is the modern world. Back in 1988, before Iphones, the Internet, and brain-melting Wifi technologies, people still read books and could concentrate on a subject for more than 20 seconds. Anyway, a humble bow to those who put this series together, and to those who posted it here on CZcams.
Being proud to be white is a no-no these days
It's been swallowed by Ancient Aliens and WWII.
@@GarethColquhoun Obama is actually is a distant cousin of mine. We adhere a common ancestor named Constantine Perkins. So he is telling the truth that he has Scot-Irish ancestery.
Britney: Don't we all have Scot-Irish blood? I don't feel proud about being related to a past president. Why would you? He's nothing to be proud of!
Descended from Ulster Scots who settled in Tennessee and later Texas. Born Fighting!
God bless you sir!
See you Jimmy
Klan ~HART. Came to New World i1680. Settled in “Northern Virginia “. Still Here in 2019 When will the truth about the true origin of the “ scots-Irish be told?
There is that book a out " born fighting " that gives a good history of the Scots Irish.
Google it and then read it.
Also one tactic used by many leaders to get the Scots Irish to go anywhere was the promise of being able to make tax free whiskey. Started way way back when King James wanted them to form colonies in Ireland. The first rebellion against the US Government was the whiskey rebellion under President George Washington.
I’m descended from some Scotch Irish Clark’s that settled Texas too! ✊
Whoever converted this documentary from tape to be viewed on youtube is to be commended for service, at least, to those of us of Scots-Irish ancestry. I have been trying to better understand my ancestors on the Scottish Borders and later in North America. This first part helps considerably.
wow bagger ..border reivers. cattle rustlers and thieves banished to ulster by king james of scotland because they were too troublesome
Great stuff, Forged in Ulster. Most people in modern day ulster have no idea of their ancestors history and influence. Thank you for preserving this.
You mean Ulster-Scots don't know about United Irishmen their ancestor's involvement.
@@robertkelly8385 The Presbyterian radical presence in the United Irishmen 'possibly did not represent the majority of Presbyterians in Ulster.
Most Ulster-Scot descendants in the states have no idea either.
I am descendent of the Ulster Scots and I am proud of my forefathers. They were brave men and woman.
Nice to see others who are proud of their culture.

@@robblack533 it sucks to suck doesn't it?
My heritage. My distant Grandfather Captain David Robert Wilson fought at Ramsours Mill and Kings Mountain. He was from Ulster and was given a large portion of land near the Cumberland Gap for his service in the Revolution. Very proud to be of Ulster Scot heritage.
The scots who were forced off their land in 1500's and then taken to Ulster by english to force irish off their land , caused a change in the dialect. This accent they took to america very early and it influenced the american accent very much even to today
@@mervynpinkyfarrell1155 the accent in early amerikay most likely came from the earlier english but many of the words came from scotland.
God protect us all who still warm the Scots/Irish blood coursing threw our veins. God Bless
Part of my Scots-Irish ancestry settled in Cumerland Territory (present day Pennsylvania) in the 1730s. Their land was granted upon them for fighting in the American Revolution. Another vein of the same ancestry can be traced directly back to Robert The Bruce through the line of Dunbar.
Robert the Bruce is of Norman ancestry.
Craig Patrick Day Yes The Vikings were heavily present in Scotland and this also explains the heavy Scandinavian DNA in the Scots.
@@cdejewel the picts of scotland inhabited the east coast of scotland and the shetlands and hebrides. then the gaels from europe arrived in england but fled up to the west and east coast of scotland. including the islands. then the norse arrived and assimilated with the picts and gaels, hence the norse gaels. they called the scotti because of their frequent raiding. thus the name of scotland. there were also scots in the vikings which is scandinavian for raider.
@@thenextshenanigantownandth4393 Bruce was also a descendant of Aoife Mac Murrough Gaelic Queen of Leinster and her husband Richard de Clare ( Strongbow) through their daughter Isabel de Clare.
The king is dead long live king Robert the bruce
The Scots Irish or Ulster Scots were mainly Covenanter/ Presbyterians who migrated to Ulster from Scotland between 1638-88. In the early 18th Century thousands went to the new world settling initially in Virginia and Tennessee and then moved South and West. Few races made more of an imprint on early America than this ultra tough race of people.
Absolutely spot on,
Indeed! My family on all sides came to Isle of Wight Virginia then to North Carolina. Finally digging in to Middle and East Tennessee. 8th generation on my Father’s side and 6th on my Mother’s. Damn tough people for sure!
Many went to Pennsylvania first...recruited by Quakers of all people...lol. needed some fihhters
I love how the Last of the Mohocans are playing.
My ancestors are Scots Gael that moved to Ulster at the behest of the O'Neills of Tir Eógain before the plantation and we still have the red hand of ulster on our family crest.
According to my ancestry DNA my ancestors came here in 1725 from Ireland Scotland Wales. I don't think this is so uncommon

My Ross ancestor came to America from Ireland during the potato famine. Settled in pennsylvania, worked in the coal mines. Married a Scottish lady from clan MacLean. After some traveling they finally settled in Texas and then in Oklahoma. I’m very proud of my heritage.
Descended from one of three brothers that settled outside Londonderry in 1620. Proud to be Scots Irish.
1683, my ancestors were indentured servants to a Quaker family; 5 years for an adult, 7 years for a child. Part of W. Penn’s Philadelphia settlers. From there to Ohio after Revolutionary war. From there to Illinois after Civil War. From there to California after WWII. Now, spread out throughout the country. After Vietnam and Gulf wars. We are still here, and here we’ll stay.

Amazing! We need to wake up to our nature and embrace our native devotion to individual liberty and God-focused living.
That song played in the beginning of the video is AWESOME!! I really love it, its great!

@@zoologist1992 the actual scots have been in the carolinas etc since the 1500s and many of the later ulster scots would have still been full scots having lived in ireland only a few years or even months then leaving for the americas

Thank you for sharing this on here. I am a descendant of William Campbell who was at Kings Mountain....also the Allison's, Allen's, and Craig's. Who can all be traced back to Ulster.
Scots/Irish Cherokee and live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southern Virginia. Have you read the history of Southwest Virginia? William Campbell is mentioned often in the book.
My descendent also at Kings Mountain., Colonel John Seiver.
Is William Campbell related to Hugh Campbell who came to the Colonies in 1740? My ancestor. Must be a cousin somehow 😂
Wonderful video! My ancestors went through this too!
Unlike many commenters on here I’m not a grumpy old man who complains about the modern world. I just enjoy history
Thank you for making this available. Abbu gabra
What is the name of the main theme tune, the one repeated throughout the documentary? (Not Dougie MacLean's "The Gael")
My ancestors fought at Kings Mountain. I am born and bred Patriot.
I'm descended from me Mammies Womb.

A great president!
Check out Covenanter; Peden The Prophet.
Does anyone know the name of this tune 3:40 - 4:40? It's lovely.

@@opticnerve8927 thank you so much 🙏🏻
A great number of Scots came to Ireland prior to the Plantations they served as mercenary soldiers to the Gaelic Lords and were given land by the Lords eg Hugh O Donnell wife was a McClean, they regarded themselves as Irish ,some Hamiltons were Catholic and came over during the Plantations the Earls of Antrim ie Mcdonalds were Catholic as is most of the glens today there are many layers to the history of a county Ulster some see the history of that province pre 17th century as irrelevant and there in lies many problems just as many scots through out the period and their descendents regarded themselves as Pure Irish religious differences being divide leading to terms not based on DNA much used In proper historical research the Scotch Gallowglasses were the greatest enemies of the planters how ironic and Gaelic culture is making a remarkable recovery in 9 county Ulster today when much else will be forgotten that poses for history of that province. Leave comments no censorship!
It appears that my McQuillans were of that mercenary militia type that went to the north of Ireland pre 1440. They prevailed for awhile only to be defeated by Sorley Boy MacDonnell. My line returned to Scotland in 1750’s and remained.

Pardon my lack of understanding, but what political reasons are objectionable to this documentary?
Half of those who went to America before the 1800s were from the other 3 provinces. Not only from Ulster.
Alot of information is striped from the internet,
I'm Irish born and I don't believe Ireland was a barbarous land after saint Patrick came it got better.
Your delusional irishman
Integration was easy WHERE? Says WHO?!!!!!!! And in whose mind is it COMPLETE?!!!!!!!
I saw a video by a Texan, president of some Ulster historical society, shown marching in a parade in Ulster and happily telling us about the Confederates marching behind him singing Dixie.
Aye I saw that, what rubbish.
Ulster Scots
The music is annoyingly loud and makes difficult to hear the narration.
The paracites put us in a cupboard.and gave us his story.and we run with the story it's not our story.derry city is a starfort.the castle's are tartarian architecture.from the old world.. NO SURRENDER,to lies.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
What political reason would it not be shown today?
The Ulster Scots were impressive in America where they supported independence from the British crown. The ones who stayed at home went in the other direction and became supporters - lackeys might be the right word - of the British crown even though the English had suppressed their religion. This highlights the Jekyll and Hyde nature of the Scots. On one hand they claim to support their country and on the other they don´t. I´m from Glasgow and am half Proddie and half Pape - and have been trying to square this circle all my life. I want Scotland to regain her independence just as the US became independent but it won´t happen until we unite whether we are a Billy or a Dan or an auld tin can.
Wow .. true and concise. Maybe she does need independence.. a homeland and be self governing. Maybe the children of her will look back heeding the call. I think you're right. You've solidified my hope/wish for Scotland.
What I don‘t like about this documentary: The quite essential (Northern) English element is not mentioned at all, only the rich elite Anglicans from Southern England. Besides, James I. was a Scottish king, who later also became King of England. He certainly did not speak like a posh Southeastener. Here he‘s portrayed as an English toff.
All in all it‘s a pretty anti-English piece of work, although very interesting to watch and beyond the typical clichés about Northern Ireland.
I, myself am a descendant of the Eliotts (Borders).
Not too friendly toward the Jacobites either. Most Scots that they tout were not Ulster Scots but actually products of the Scottish Enlightenment in Scotland.
Have to say that the voice quality is extremely awful...
Think it was made in 1988 . Old tape stored in a shed .
Chosen People originated in the Palestine Old Judea etc.
You mean Israel!
in the 28th min of this film when describing the uprising by the scotts to the irish it says those who couldnt read were pictures of the suffering the scotts would do to the irish well the irish could read and were great literary giants before the time of christ but it was all in gailik
I think it's time to drop the "Irish" part and just call them Scottish Americans, since they are not Irish, but rather Scottish. In Northern Ireland, they call themselves Ulster Scots, not Scots-Irish, which is an American invention.
Kenny Stemp Why do you think the confederate flag contains the cross of St Andrews.
@@jurapilis I didn't know this Jurgis. Thanks for that bit of history lesson. I researched it, and you are correct. The cross on the confederate flag is the cross of St Andrews, the patron saint of Scotland. That is an interesting piece of history. This is where I just read this........confederatewave.org/wave/confederate-flag-history.phtml
@Scott Drinkwater They do. You are correct. It is said that about three fourths of Ulster Scots (Scots-Irish) are of Scottish decent, and one fourth of Ulster Scots are of English decent. Sometimes I forget about the English part.
In Northern Ireland they don’t call themselves Ulster Scots. You’ll hear them either call themselves Irish, British and Irish or simply British.
Those who were born on the island of Island with Scots ancestry are Irish of Scottish decent so why don’t call them Scots Irish? Those born in Scotland who moved over to Ireland are simply Scots, but if they were happy to be identified as Scots-Irish, why should the “Irish” part be dropped?
They didnt belong to god but to Oliver Cromwell.

This is directed towards The Magnificent Creep...
Your ignorance or is it bigotry is outstanding you know nothing of this history and what you and people like you don't wish to acknowledge you try to dismiss as folklore and myth.
It was the invading Gauls who carried out political genocide on the native peoples of this island (Pritini Ulaid of Cruthin) a process which drove the Ulster people to the far North where they made a stand against the UiNeil clans many where driven to Scotland where many centuries later they would return to there ancestral homeland..
A quarter way through, i give up on these accents. Im accustomed to mountain dialect. This is not it
The accent sounds exactly like an Irish accent. Ulster is a province in Ireland . Having Bonfires to do with something from Hundreds of years ago !! I've never heard of a country called Ulster Scots is this a place like the "Wickerman". Are these people part of some kind of religious death cult or is it some kind of Twilight zone episode. Seems to be some parallels with ISIS in that religious fundamentalists have set up a Caliphate in a foreign country and only want to mix with people who look like them and worship an imaginary God like them. Very spooky because that can lead to inbreeding.
Take a look at history. The inbreeding was done by the royalty. People should have freedom to worship whom they want, God or whomever it shall be.
Ulster Scots was a clan of people driven from their homeland in Scotland by King James because he wanted to rule every aspect of the people's lives. They was casted to Ulster Ireland. Therefore, they became known as the Ulster Scots. Then, they paved way to America and helped to settle the North American continent.
Ulster is the place, Ulster Scots is the language (mix of english, welsh, scots and irish gaelic)of the descendents of the planters, even native irish in places like north antrim speak heavy in this tongue
