JIM Millar (right) has been appointed as the new directore of language and education by the Ulster-Scots Agency. He joins after spending two years developing teaching materials at the Ulster-Scots curriculum project at Stranmillis University College, Belfast. 
Born in Glsagow of Ulster grandparents, Jim, who takes up his post on October 3, has lived in Northern Ireland for most of his career that spans over 20 years experience of teaching in the Northern Ireland education system.
"I am looking forward enormously to working with the Agency as I really enjoyed my time among the Ulster-Scots community while at Stranmillis," said Jim.
"I see this work being of tremendous value to the whole community and something that's well worth doing."
