Bloggin fae the 'Burn: Ulster-Scots thoughts

Born, bred and still living on the most easterly point of Northern Ireland - the Ards Peninsula - 18 miles across the sea from Scotland.
You might know me from my design career, or from the Ulster-Scots Agency (Chair, June '05 - June '09), or the amateur musical stuff (founder member of the Low Country Boys, Feb '02 - Dec '07. Now playing as a simple "brother duet" with my brother Graeme.)

Thoughts on Ulster-Scots heritage, identity, evangelical Protestant faith, music and other stuff I stumble upon.
