From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ulster-Scot is a free, bi-monthly publication produced by the Ulster-Scots Agency, published in Northern Ireland.[1] It is a product of incentives to encourage awareness of Ulster heritage and often provided as a supplement with local newspaper The News Letter.[2][3] It was first published in November 2002.
The news topics are based around the heritage of Ulster Scots and the Ulster variant of the Scots language.[4] The main content of the paper is written in English with various sections in Ulster-Scots. It reports on Ulster-Scots events such as dances and Burns suppers, as well as releases of traditional music on CD and books about Ulster-Scots language and culture.The term Ulster-Scots refers to people from Scotland that settled in Ulster, and their descendants. It also refers to their heritage and cultural traditions.[5]
