Ulster Protestants

Ulster Protestants are people from Northern Ireland who follow Protestant Christian faiths, primarily descended from settlers, mainly of Scottish and English origin, who arrived during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. They identify culturally and historically with the protestant tradition and have often been associated with unionist political views, supporting Northern Ireland remaining part of the United Kingdom. Their identity is intertwined with their religious beliefs, cultural heritage, and political values, forming a significant community in Northern Ireland with a distinct history and social perspective within the broader Irish context.
