Building on the Scottish foundation which had been established in Co. Down and Co. Antrim by the Hamilton & Montgomery Settlement of May 1606, the Plantation of Ulster began in 1610, bringing thousands of Scottish and English settlers into six of Ulster's western counties - Armagh, Cavan, Donegal, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone.
