In the early 1600s, thousands of Lowland Scots traded their homeland for the wilds of Ulster, reshaping Ireland and forging a new identity that would echo across the Atlantic. This episode traces the Plantation of Ulster from its origins in the Flight of the Earls (1607) to the arrival of Presbyterian settlers, the 1641 Rebellion, and the Siege of Derry. We follow the rise of the 'Scotch-Irish' — a people who would later populate the American frontier. With figures like James VI and I, Hugh O'Neill, and the Reverend James Hamilton, we untangle a story of ambition, faith, and survival. How did a planned colonial project become a crucible of conflict and migration? Join Lucas and Luna as they explore this pivotal chapter in Scotland's broader story.
