I was delighted to welcome the Ulster Scots/Ulster British Commissioner @cusubt.bsky.social, Lee Reynolds to @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social.
The Commissioner outlined his priorities over the coming months, and we look forward to supporting him in his role.

“Lowland humour is the art of laughing at a man while passing him the butter."
Just published in #HonestUlsterman: my piece on inheriting this deadpan, understated wit, from Ulster-Scots roots to Norm Macdonald echoes and family court.

"Swirl"??? Surely you mean "skirling" here. In an article about Ulster Scots culture, you could at least get the basics right ffs #bbcni #ulsterscots #NornIrn

On the day I found out I have two poems shortlisted for the Frances Browne Poetry Competition (Ulster Scots), just taking a moment to reflect on all minority languages.
This poem by Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill says it better than I can

language mass circulation newspaper,& the Irish language programmes on TV would not be so low in viewers as to not register as statistically significant.
Those people languishing on waiting lists are from all communities, and deserve higher priority (END)

So speaking Ulster-Scots is not part of the job specifications for the new post of Ulster Scots commissioner. 🤔

It was an absolute delight to act as MC and read my work at 'Voices from a Far Field' - the final event of the 2025 Steinbeck Festival Limavady. A truly memorable night of voices and music.

This airs Tuesday 11th on BBC1 at 10:40 & will be on the iPlayer if you miss it. A remarkable film tracing the expressive beauty of Ulster-Scots through the words of past and present women writers across NI. The breadth & quality of the writing is stunning, presented by Anne McMaster

Tuesday 11th Feb. BBC1 NI. 10.40pm. My life as an Ulster-Scots poet. Interviews with inspiring NI women writers. And the old farm. It's been a real honour to take this creative journey. #poet #ulsterscots

You might find this an accessible starter. It's about the language/dialect of the #UlsterScots.

I don't know if this is on your radar, @davidmccullough.bsky.social
Your surname is associated with Ulster, and, now that you've outed yourself as a Prod, 😁 it may be that your ancestors were of the community known in the US as #UlsterScots - Presbyterians who resettled North America.
