The links between Scotland and Ulster have existed since time immemorial – from prehistory to present. This app includes information on 200 locations across the north of Ireland that form part of this story over the last 500 years. The sites include towns and villages, castles and churches, graveyards and monuments, and archives and industries.
Chronologically they range from 16th-century sites associated with the Redshanks – fearsome Highland warriors – to the outdoor museums of the late 20th with their reconstructed buildings from a bygone era. In some way each reveals something of the strong historic and cultural links that unite Scotland and Ulster.
So, there is no better time to download these rich, historical driving tours designed to guide you to the hidden highlights in Ulster’s fascinating past.
