Description

In this episode of What Have the Ulster Scots Ever Done for Us?, hosts Jennie Brown and Jane Rea examine the rich contributions of the Ulster-Scots to art and design. From the textile industry’s role in shaping social and economic life, including the iconic linen and quilting traditions, to the contested discovery of the 16th-century Dungiven  costume - a garment embodying Irish, Scottish, and English influences -the program explores the depth of cultural interconnectivity. Highlighting figures like Rose Praeger, a trailblazing sculptor and the first female president of the Royal Ulster Academy of Arts, they uncover stories of creativity spanning centuries. Alongside murals, tourism ads, and architecture with Scottish influences, this episode showcases a fusion of heritage and artistry that defines the Ulster Scots legacy.
