Thread Name: Ulster Scots Music ?
Subject: RE: Ulster Scots Music ?
LJC - think it was William IV, who decided he would humour his Scottish subjects by wearing tartan for the formal reception at Holyrood during his royal visit to Edinburgh. The word was leaked to those invited to attend and they all dashed back and scoured their estates to find someone old enough to tell them what their own tartans looked like.

Ulster Scots music - music unique and particular to the original inhabitants of the area of the island of Ireland known as Ulster.
