What is Ulster-Scots?
The term Ulster-Scots has, for nearly 400 years, referred to people, not place - the people who migrated from the Lowlands of Scotland to Ulster, and to the Ulster-Scots communities that they established right across the nine counties.

What is Ulster-Scots?
“Tha Boord o Ulster Scotch”

We’re here to keep the Ulster-Scots culture alive & thriving.

The Ulster-Scots Agency, or “Tha Boord o Ulster Scotch”, aims to promote the study, conservation, development and use of Ulster-Scots as a living language; to encourage and develop the full range of its attendant culture; and to promote an understanding of the history of the Ulster-Scots.
