Ulster and Ulster Plantation History in Ireland
A National Geographic prepared overview explains Ulster as a border region now split between the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland. It notes the 17th century plantation, Scottish dominance, economic divergence, religious divides, and the 1920s boundary realignments. It highlights Donegal and its climate, culture, towns, and fisheries, plus Donegal’s O Donnell seat and Irish tweeds. It also recalls Welsh, English, and Scots immigration shaping America’s Scot-Irish and southern Irish flows.
