There was always a lot of back and forth between the two lands. The main trade seems to have been mercenaries and monks. My father’s family was invited over from the Western Isles in the 13th Century to help with some trouble a chieftain was having. They were the Gaelic speaking ancestors of Vikings who had settled in the Scottish islands northeast of Ireland.
