The Ulster-Scots Agency is well on target on delivering the kind of paper which best reflects Ulster-Scots culture and language.

Scottish country dancers practising their steps prior to performing at Coleraine's (Co Londonderry) first outdoor Ulster-Scots Festival last month. Organisers are hopeful that the event will become a permanent fixture on the community calendar in Coleraine.

Our Most Priceless Heritage

NEWS Letter journalist Billy Kennedy has compiled yet another book on the 18th century American frontier settlements - the ninth publication in 10 years of his popular Scots-Irish Chronicles series.

'Our Most Priceless Heritage - The Lasting Legacy of the Scots-Irish' is a highly comprehensive, omnibus study of a people, who, from their earliest arrival in America from Ulster 350 years ago, were firmly grounded in freedom and democracy.
The book, published by Ambassador International in Belfast and Greenville (South Carolina) and running to 350 pages, will be launched in the United States in October and in Northern Ireland in November.
