The connexions between lreland and Scotland reach far back. Geographically close and to some extent ethnically similar, the lnhabitants of the Western Isles of Scotland and those of Ulster bad constant communication with each other since the times of St. Columba and the Dalriadic kingdom, if not before. So near akin did these peoples appear to outsiders that the central government in Scotland referred to its lslesmen as Irish, though, from the point of view of government the Isles definitely constituted part of Scotland.
