The Ulster-Scot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ulster-Scot is a free, monthly publication produced by the Ulster-Scots Agency, published in Northern Ireland. It is often a supplement with local newspaper The News Letter. It was first published in November 2002.
It is about the Ulster variety of the Scots language [1], but the majority of it is written in English. 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.
A notable regular feature in The Ulster-Scot is "The Crack", a column written in the Ulster-Scots language, which gives writer Conal Gillespie's opinion on recent news. It can also be read online at ulsterscotsagency.com.
The editor of The Ulster-Scot is Billy Kennedy and its associate editor is Joanne Crockard.
