"In the middle ages Gaelic-speaking Scottish mercenaries were imported into Ireland and served as a part of the professional armies of many Gaelic Irish lords. This distinct cultural tradition has repeatedly been referred to by historians who have noted the existence of a Scottish Gaelic 'sub-culture' among those gall-óglagh or 'foreign soldiers' who served, often as hereditary soldiers in Ireland, for generations."
