Mythical romantic history again, I'm suspect. There were as many Scots on the side of the central government in the suppression of the Highland clans, as there were on the Stuart side. Unless this emigration dates back to Edward 1st? (Athelstan being pre-"Scots" as understood today).
My own ancestors were Grahams, who operated on both sides of the Borders. When the Borders were finally "sorted" they were forcibly emigrated to Ireland, only to be sent back later as too troublesome for the Irish to cope with.
