Anyone who imagines that Ulster-Scots culture is some sort of 'shamrock and thistle' culture might do well to consider how some football supporters in Blackburn see 'shamrock and thistle'.� This was previously Blackburn Shamrock Celtic Supporters Club but they changed their name to 'Shamrock and Thistle'.� Heres another version of shamrock and thistle at the Shamrock and Thistle pub in Florida, with its leprechauns and green beards.
Of course there's nothing wrong with�'shamrock and thistle' ... but it is not Ulster-Scots. It's Irish and Scottish.
