His parents probably immigrated to Wigan, trying to escape the arduous diet of haggis that the Scots Irish are forced to eat in the highlands.

Indeed. They were simply outclassed by a better side.

I always thought that the term Scots-Irish was only used by Americans to describe Ulster Protestants? These people also produced most of their presidents and early military leaders, such as Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson ect...

I can't understand why you are using that term, or why you seem think they all live in Scotland and eat haggis?

You are right it is a predominently American nomenclature.

Ulster Scots or even better Ullans is more prevalent in Northern Ireland as is one of the languages of the British Isles.
