The Scots-Irish DNA Project now has 761 participating families. Below is a roster of the participating families. As you can see the families are a combination of Lowland and Highland Scottish surnames with a few native Irish surnames. All these families self identify as being Scots-Irish. Most of these families participated in the 18th Century Ulster Migration to English Colonies and early Republic, or in the 19th Century Ulster migration into Canada. The majority of the Lowland Scottish families are from Ayrshire, Lanarkshire, and Gallowayshire, and most of these families migrated to Ireland during the Ulster Plantation (1609-1720). The Highland Scottish surnames from Argyll, Lennox, and the Southern Hebrides; many of these families migrated to Ulster circa 1550-1600). The dominate haplogroups are Insular Celts (85%) and there is about 12% of the haplogroups of Norse/Norman ancestry. The native Irish surnames come from certain families that converted to the reformed faith and became part of the Protestant Irish community in the 1600s. Click on image to enlarge:

Embark on a visual journey to the quaint corner of Pennan, Aberdeenshire, through the abstracted lens of Cubism. This intriguing print invites viewers to explore the iconic Scottish village, reimagined amidst the interlocking geometric forms synonymous with the Cubist movement. Angular shapes and fragmented perspectives converge to form the charming white-washed cottages, imposing themselves against the rolling hills and rugged coastlines. The dance of colour and form whimsically captures the essence of Pennan, as the swelling sea is depicted through overlapping crescents and sinuous curves that articulate the undulating waves. Earthy tones of greens and browns harmonize with the soft whites and greys of the architectural elements, each segmented into facets that play with light and shadow, evincing the unique character of the locale. Set against a backdrop of starkly contrasting deep blues and blacks representing the expansive ocean and the crevices between the natural forms, this piece masterfully balances the serene rural setting with a dynamic, almost pulsating, abstraction. The interplay between natural and man-made structures within the composition hints at the symbiotic relationship between the Pennan community and its maritime backdrop. Perfect for lovers of both Scottish heritage and avant-garde art, this print captures the timeless allure of Pennan through a transformative and engaging aesthetic that is certain to be a conversation starter and a captivating centrepiece in any space.
