Kintra

On the trail of history and heritage in Killinchy, Ballyholme and Cullybackey and with poems from a mum for Mother’s Day

Duration: 27 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio UlsterLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio Foyle

Helen Mark meets the Rev Stanley Gamble at Killinchy Parish and learns more about the rich Ulster-Scots heritage that led to the building of the Church’s new Livingstone Centre.
Willie Hill also heads to County Down to find out how to add an Ulster-Scots dimension to a good walk in the company of Graham Little – the guide for the “Danders Aroon” series of online videos.
If you’re a bit vague on local history, William Roulston’s offering a free, five-part course covering key events from 1600 to 1800 – Helen had a chat with him to hear more of what’s planned.
And for Mother’s Day, two short poems in English and Scots from Angeline King – written from the perspective of a mum.
The Kintra team love to hear from listeners with their comments about the programme, a yarn, song or poem to share or an Ulster-Scots event to promote. You can contact them at kintra@bbc.co.uk.
