Ulster is one of the four provinces of Ireland. Due to large-scale plantations of people from Scotland and England during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, as well as half a century of paramilitary activity, Ulster has a unique culture, quite different from the rest of Ireland. Given the all of Northern Ireland lies within Ulster, the Culture of Northern Ireland is often considered to be very similar to that of Ulster.
