The first installment of this program opened with a parade of kilted pipers
playing "Scotland the Brave". The Scotch-Irish immigration to America was
given about the first 10 minutes. I know this might sound prejudicial but the

is not that of the "potato people" (this is what they are called in the
documentary) and I understand why we then wanted to be known as the "Scotch-
Irish".
