Sorry I think you misunderstand - Ulster Scots are in Ulster, not Scotland. They still regard themselves as British or Scottish depending on the context even though they have been in Ulster for over 400 years. A lot of Americans also seem to think like the Ulster Scots, using monikers such as Irish-American, Italian-American etc. to indicate the land to which their people are native while also indicating that they are American colonists.

It is a valid point of when someone becomes native though. Most Irish are Nord/Gael ethnically due to the Nordic invasions/settlements in the 10-12 centuries. My name is Norman in origin, but the Normans got here nearly 900 years ago, so am I truly native? Or are only my Gaelic genes native? But the Gaels originated around the banks of the Danube (according to our mythology), or from the Iberian peninsula. So are even the gaels native or do we have to go back to the Fir Bolg. All I know is it would be better if the Nigerians fucked off home really.
