Celebrating & Sustaining the Ulster-Scots Culture

The Ulster-Scots Agency is committed to 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.

Our vision of the Ulster-Scots Agency is that Ulster-Scots should flourish as a rich, vibrant and growing culture with a global legacy that is recognised at home and abroad. We aspire to do this through our Strategic Goals.
