How exactly have Ulster-Scots figures, their language, culture and activities influenced so much of what we in Northern Ireland and beyond know and appreciate? Jennie Browne and Jane Rea are going to find out and on this episode they’re focusing on what the Ulster-Scots community have done for… innovation and invention.
To discover the answer, the duo visit the Royal Ulster Academy of Arts, the Ulster Museum, a young ladies studio in Cloughmills, a seaside carpark in Larne and a Presbyterian Church in Belfast.
Throughout their time on the road, they’ll take in murals, architecture, graphic design, portraits, costume design and sculptors - all of which have benefited from a significant Ulster-Scots influence.
As for our presenters - Jennie Browne, half Northern Irish and half Caribbean, has always had a fascination with her identity and sense of place. But she feels there is a large Ulster-Scots shaped hole in her knowledge. So -with the guidance of Ulster- Scots presenter Jane Rea, Jennie plans to explore the Provence, get her hands dirty and learn about a community who have given us so much.
