It鈥檚 200 years since the foundations were laid in Donaghadee for the harbour as we know it today. Helen Mark visits the seaside town to hear about the celebrations and to learn more about Sir Hugh Montgomery, the 鈥榝ather of Ulster-Scots鈥� who founded the town in the early 1600s and built the original harbour.
Tour guides Tom and Robert Neill are on hand to chat about the harbour鈥檚 past and Helen might even bump into historical characters, Sir Hugh Montgomery himself and Sir John Rennie 鈥� builder of the current harbour.
There鈥檚 chat about what might go into a new time capsule with 10 year old Brodie and 12 year old Miah; information about an exhibition of the harbour鈥檚 history, and a chat with Quentin Nelson, who pilots the support vessel for open water swimmers braving the dangerous waters between Donaghadee and Portpatrick in Scotland.
Rab Lennox and Willie Hill complete this week鈥檚 Kintra team and as always, they love to hear from listeners with a yarn to share or an Ulster-Scots event to tell the community about 鈥� you can contact them at kintra@bbc.co.uk
