BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, The fallen Armada tree, a degree in bag-piping, a danner close to home on The Twelfth in days gone by and a song to win a wife.

A degree in bag-piping, dannering close to home on The Twelfth and a winsome hairt-sang.

Jonnie hears about the fallen Armada tree, Rab learns about a piping degree, Willie finds out that staying hame for the Twelfth isn’t new and we’ve a hairt-sang that won a wife.

Jonnie Crawford hears about the fallen Armada tree and the plans to ‘turn’ it into keepsakes for the community; Rab Lennox talks to a recent graduate about his degree in piping degree; Dr David Hume  talks to Willie Hill and explains that staying close to hame for the Twelfth isn’t really that new, and we’ve a hairt-sang from Sam Murray – the song that helped win him a wife.
