    Scots Irish Smile at Americans

    May 29, 2024 / UK and Ireland Travel, Uncategorized

    Why do these two areas feel connected to Americans? We can start with the language: English.  When you visit Scotland and Ireland and hear local English, you might think it is a foreign language.

Connery is especially known to us from James Bond.

    We are family. 5 million Americans have Scottish ancestry; the Scottish diaspora remains connected via church, culture, and the many societies we see in parades.…
