Always learning. Born, bred and still living on the most easterly point of Northern Ireland - the Ards Peninsula - 18 miles across the sea from Scotland. I do lots of things- design, music, talks, trying to be a husband and father. This blog isn't an example of great quality writing or research, it's just a scrapbook pointing towards content that's of interest. © the author; contact me for permissions
I found this reference to 'Ulster Scotch' in this 1912 publication. It was produced for an English audience and full of quotes from fairly high-level people endorsing Home Rule for Ireland. Gibson was from Banbridge but I know nothing more about him. Interesting that the term 'Ulster Scotch' was in usage and understood.
