The Ulster-Scots

Helen Mark discovers that many Scottish settlers in Ulster came as tenant farmers, as Alec Blair discusses the planting of the Earl of Antrim's lands. Many of the immigrants were fervent Presbyterians and Covenanters: however, Douglas Carson explains that many of the settlers had no religion at all in practice. (Broadcast: 08/05/1999)
