    Scots-Irish

    In my whole existence I've only encountered one
    person who openly self-identified as Scotch-Irish.
    Most give themselves some other label.

    I've run into those who are proud of that heritage

    My first FIL a man by the name of McPhee claimed in all seriousness
    that they went from Scotland to Ireland because they were kicked
    out for stealing sheep.

    My next batch of recipes features sweet treats made with Frangelico
    ...

    Scots-Irish
    In my whole existence I've only encountered one
    person who openly self-identified as Scotch-Irish.
    Most give themselves some other label.
    I've run into those who are proud of that heritage

    My first FIL a man by the name of McPhee claimed in all seriousness
    that they went from Scotland to Ireland because they were kicked
    out for stealing sheep.

    I had a family or two that came from Scotland through Ireland, but they
    never claimed the Irish part of things... the emigrant brothers from
    Ireland had been born in Scotland and moved to Ireland as children with
    their father... They were farmers... nothing as dranatic as your FIL... ;)
