Summary: Tim McGarry continues his quest charting the history of the Scots language from the 18th century to the present day. As the language declined, it was still able to throw up literary geniuses who saved Scots from obscurity and obliteration. Scottish poets like Robbie Burns and Hugh MacDiarmid kept Scots literature burning bright. In Ulster, Tim explores the genius of James Orr, the largely forgotten Ballycarry poet who many literary experts regard as the equal of Burns.
With contributions from former first minister of Scotland Alex Salmond, Martin O'Muilleor MLA, Laura Spence and other Scots and Ulster Scots Language experts, the programme also asks what the future is for Ulster Scots and Scots.
