Free Ulster Scots app

The latest Ulster Historical Foundation newsletter mentions a free Ulster Scots app for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android. Here's the blurb:

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.

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.

To access the app for Apple based devices visit iTunes at http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/ulster-scots/id508033620?mt=8, whilst for the Android equivalent visit Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mtt.ulsterscots&hl=en.
