Their enduring legacy of music flows today from Appalachia back to Ireland and Scotland and around the globe. They brought with them a wealth of traditional ballads and tunes from the British Isles and Ireland, a carrying stream that merged with sounds and songs of English, German, Welsh, African American, French, and Cherokee origin. Many of these Scots-Irish immigrants made their way into the mountains of the southern Appalachian region. Summary: Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a steady stream of Scots migrated to Ulster and eventually onward across the Atlantic to resettle in the United States.
