scots

There are many Ulster Scots who are Scots in Ulster and haven't migrated to the U.

Ulster Scots refers to (largely) Presbyterian descendants of Scottish planters who emigrated to the US.

The first time I came to the UK, I remember sitting across from some rather loud Scots on the tube.

Ulster Scots is a different thing than was they're referring to.

Most of the Scots I'm related to or know are fairly anti-SNP/anti-independence.

Solicitors can also appear in the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom for civil matters (the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction for criminal matters in Scotland and therefore under Scots law).

Unionists leaders would certainly do well to make sure the Scots feel part of the union - but with a SNP in scenario one, Westminster is unlikely to be the venue for that.

I remember seeing a documentary of US origin which had interviews with Scots that were subtitled, despite the fact that they were speaking English (and as an Australian, perfectly intelligible to me).

IT's about wresting control from the south of England who Scots feel have marginalized their country (yes, 'country', although technically no longer a country in the proper sense, I should like to point out to other HNers that Scotland has retained judicial, taxation and education systems separate from England and Wales).

Your previous comment said: "Ulster Scots refers to (largely) Presbyterian descendants of Scottish planters who emigrated to the US." Which implied otherwise.

In the modern day, the English, Scots and Welsh are not typically discriminated against for their racial "traits".

Reminds me of this statement (Braveheart): "The problem with Scotland, is that it's full of Scots"

In the United States, they tended to identify as "Scots-Irish", and had a much more established place in American society (for example, at least three Presidents that I know of were Scots-Irish in the 19th century).

Those referred to as 'Scots-Irish' in the US are descendants of Scottish (largely) Presbyterian planters.

People who adhere to Anglicanism generally wouldn't consider themselves or be considered 'Scots-Irish'.

Adherents to the Anglican communion wouldn't necessarily consider themselves 'Ulster Scots'.
