Maps of Ireland

Antrim

Armagh

There are two maps below. The first is a closeup of Northern Ireland, the area most heavily settled by the Scots. On this map I have outlined the approximate boundaries of the Diocese of Dromore. Inside this boundary the towns of Lisburn and Lurgan are underlined, as is the town of Dromore.

Below is a map of all of Ireland below. The Counties in the North where the Scottish settlement was heaviest are underlined. The farther you get from Down and Antrim in the far NE corner of Ireland where Scottish Settlement was heaviest, the fewer Scots there were. Of the northern counties, all are now a part of British Northern Ireland except Donegal. When the votes were held to determine which counties would be apart of the new state of Ireland and which would stay British, Donegal voted to join Ireland. These votes were heavily dependent on the percentage of the population who were Protestant (ie: Scots and English heritage) and who were Roman Catholics (ie: "Native" Irish).

Also underlined in the far NE are the towns of Lisburn and Lurgan.

In the far SE of the island is the County of Kilkenny. I have added the location of the Inn and Pub called The Rising Sun founded about 1644. It is located in Kilkenny on the road south from the town of Kilkenny toward Waterford. Although Scottish settlement in Ireland was by far heaviest in the NE, there were Scottish settlements throughout Ireland, including Kilkenny. Today approximately 97% of Ireland outside of Ulster is Catholic. In the 16 and 1700's there were more Protestants. There were Presbyterian Churches in Waterford just south of Kilkenny by 1680 whose first minister was Alexander Sinclair from Belfast and in Clonmel, Tipperary just west of Kilkenny by 1673. The presence if Presbyterian Churches is an almost certain indication there were Scottish settlements in the area. Probably because as a minority their position was more difficult, most of the Protestant Settlers, particularly the Scots, left Ireland, most probably going to America.
