The resource explores opposing views of Ulster-Scots people during the 1798 Irish Rebellion.

Produced by Negative Waves and funded by the Northern Ireland Screen Ulster-Scots Broadcast Fund, Rhymes of Rebellion brings to life one of the most significant events in Irish history, and also supports a key area of the Key Stage 3 curriculum.

Available at www.rhymesofrebellion.com, the digital project is dedicated to delving into the rich history and poetry of the Rebellion, shedding light on the cultural, social, and political nuances of the Ulster-Scots community during that period.

The website features interviews and analysis from Matthew Warwick, Carol Baraniuk, Lolly Spence and Mark Thompson on poems by Francis Boyle, James Orr, Samuel Thomson and James Campbell. Poems can also be enjoyed in a Virtual Reality world while soaring over the landscapes in which the Rebellion took place.

Through its engagement, students can develop historical understanding, critical thinking, and source analysis skills while exploring the diverse Ulster-Scots voices, experiences, and cultural heritage that shaped Ireland's past.

"It was a privilege to work on this project, which reminds us that history is not only about dates and deeds, but about people, communities, and the stories that shaped them," said Ulster-Scots consultant and producer Darren Gibson. "I hope this resource encourages students, researchers, and anyone with an interest in our shared history to explore these voices for themselves and gain a deeper appreciation of the rich Ulster-Scots heritage that continues to resonate today."
