Welcome!
We are the Appalachian Highland Celts
According to Caroline McEldowney the Tennessee census bureau states that one in five Tennesseans can
trace their roots directly to the Scots-Irish settlers of the 18th century. Most of these settlers are of
Ulster Protestant/Presbyterian stock who were forced under British rule to flee their country. So claims
Billy Kennedy, who has researched the topic and written about it in his book, The Scots-Irish in the Hills
of Tennessee.
