Words and Music by Marty Falle
“Scots-Irish, came in large waves from 1717 to the early 1800s, many seeking land, religious freedom, and independence from British rule. They heavily populated the Appalachian Mountains, especially in Western Virginia, Eastern Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina and preferred rugged frontier regions because land was cheap. The Scots-Irish left a massive imprint on Appalachian culture—from music (old-time, bluegrass), religion (revivalist Protestantism), and language (Appalachian English). Their legacy lives on in the family farms, gospel traditions, and the tobacco barns that still dot Eastern Kentucky’s hillsides.” – Marty Falle July 2025
