Ulster-Scots Language Week

25 November 2024

Ulster-Scots Language Week (Ulster-Scotch Leid Week) 2024 takes place from 25-30 November with a full programme of events.

Whether ye hae a wheen o wurds or nane a’taal, get ready tae celebrate thegither - frae book launches tae masterclasses, new digital content tae storytelling, there’s something for aa folk tae enjoy. 

Everyone in Ulster understands and uses Ulster-Scots all the time. The last census told us that over 190,000 people in Northern Ireland have Ulster-Scots, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. 

More and more people are engaging with Ulster-Scots and Leid Week is a great opportunity to find out more and get involved.

While the Ulster-Scots Agency’s remit covers a number of areas, this week-long celebration puts our rich Ulster-Scots language firmly in the spotlight.
