Many of the Scots-Irish who emigrated to America about 1700 settled in Pennsylvania, Some later emigrated along "the Great Wagon Trail" from Pennsylvania into Virginia, and on into Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.
That is the reason why so many Highland Games and other Scottish events are held in this part of the country, there are still many people of this heritage who still live here. If you look at the "Kilt Map", this concentration of people of Scottish and Scots-Irish descent is shown quite graphically.
I'm proud to be of Irish, Scottish and Scots-Irish descent (with a few other things thrown in no doubt).
