BBC Radio Ulster - A Kist o Wurds, Series 24, Episode 3

A colourful mix of Ulster-Scots history, language, culture and crack.

Bobby Acheson visits the Cairncastle Ulster-Scots Folk Festival; Alister McReynolds asks Ann Fee about a famous Ulster Scot born 350 years ago; Charlie Gillen reflects on autumn.

Bobby Acheson heads off on the annual Ulster-Scots musical mystery tour from Cairncastle, but while the history and the crack is local, some of the music on the tour is more African than Scots! 

Alister McReynolds goes to Killyleagh to hear from Ann Fee about a famous Ulster-Scot born 350 years ago, whose legacy includes two very special things: the British Museum and milk chocolate.

Charlie Gillen shares his own thoughts on this time of year when the schools go back, and the season changes.
