Hype for the Future 75A: The Four Saints of the British Isles

Overview The historic arrival of Christianity to the general region of the British Isles is largely associated with Saint Andrew, Saint David, Saint George, and Saint Patrick, depending on the specific country in question. Though now divided between the United Kingdom and Ireland, each of the historic saints continue to be celebrated on associated days, though Saint George is occasionally moved when the Church of England identifies the date as potentially conflicting with the Easter […]

Hype for the Future 72D: Traditional Counties of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, and Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Introduction The historic counties of England, Scotland, and Wales have been of cultural significance as each county has determined the heritage of the people of the region and the descending diaspora related to every county. While Ireland and the Isle of Man also play large roles, along with Jersey and Guernsey, the primary settlements on Great Britain have also been of significance regarding the situation of a generally Celtic region. England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Cornwall: Truro, […]

Hype for the Future 50S: The Montalto Estate in Ballynahinch

In Ballynahinch, Northern Ireland, the Montalto Estate may apparently resemble the quintessential Southern Appalachian estate, and particularly the estates associated with the frontier in Virginia, North Carolina, and, later on, Kentucky and Tennessee. Andrew Jackson was often identified as the most notable figure from Scots-Irish history in the United States, born in the Waxhaws (uncertain which of the Carolinas) but whose most notable estate was not until Tennessee. After researching […]

Hype for the Future 50Q: Greater Appalachian Scots-Irish

Overall, the Scots-Irish settlement of British Colonial America, overwhelmingly between 1717 and 1775, has largely been determined by numerous overlapping forces that had ultimately resulted in the migration of significant numbers of Scots-Irish to British Colonial America, and a significant majority of the settlers were originally associated with Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding area. However, unlike the German settlers to the Lancaster area, including Amish and Mennonite […]

Hype for the Future 50P: Scottish and Irish Differences

Though Scotland and Ireland are often confused with one another, especially historically, for strong Celtic connections, the separation of Scotland and Ireland had seemed to become less pronounced when Scottish settlers had become colonizers to Ulster en masse. Beyond Scottish settlers to Ulster, however, notable differences between Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and Ireland 🇮🇪 are largely determined by the differences between Great Britain and Ireland in general.
