Banter in Portavogie, tracking old railways and ideas for learning more about Ulster-Scots in the autumn
There’s banter in Portavogie with Rab on the road, learning new things about an old railway line, and exploring the Ulster-Scots influences on American culture.
The Kintra team puts Rab on the Road to Portavogie where Carole Gilmore and Elaine McFeeters show him some of their favourite places. Helen Mark talks to Alister McReynolds to hear about his new series of lunchtime talks about the Ulster-Scots influence on American words and music. Willie Hill meets railway enthusiast Kevin O’Hagan to find out about the old Cushendall railway and Eilidh Hill explains how she got her name – and tells us about her hairt-sang.
The team loves to hear from listeners with yarns to tell and events to share with the wider Ulster-Scots community – for news, events and stories, email Kintra@bbc.co.uk or say hello when you see any of the team members out and about!
