Do you mean to imply that the Scots Irish sided with the patriots?

EDIT: I shoud amend my assertion - The colonists who cared about who ruled them were pretty well split between loyalist and patriot ideals. The majority of American colonists, much like today, didn't much care and just wanted the issue to go away.
