Scottish Americans or Scots Americans are citizens of the United States whose ancestry originates in the northwest European nation of Scotland. See also Scottish ethnicity. Scottish Americans are closely related to Scots-Irish Americans, also called Ulster-Scots, who in the US are treated as part of a common ethnic group. The Ulster-Scots originally came from the lowlands and border country of Scotland before migrating to Ulster, and hence to North America.
