BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, Ulster-Scots for the next generation, a treasure-trove of language, music and drama in Armagh, and traditional hedge-laying

Planning for a new generation of Ulster-Scots and celebrating the best of the past.

Planning the strategy for a new generation, linguistic riches at the Folk Museum, music and drama in Armagh’s Ulster-Scots heartland and traditional hedge-laying on the peninsula.

David Gilliland from the Ulster-Scots Community Network talks to Jonnie Crawford about the newly published Ulster-Scots Language, Heritage and Culture Strategy from the Department of Communities. 
Helen Mark and Dr David Hume get a quick look at part of the Ulster-Scots language collection at the Folk Museum and hear about the work underway to make this linguistic treasure-trove accessible to others.  
Conrad Clarke tells Jonnie about the current work going on in the Mid-Armagh community group as drama is added to the list of activities on offer, while down the Ards Peninsula, Gibson Young gets a closer look at traditional hedge laying from Davy Thompson. 
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.
