In true McGarry style, the self-confessed sceptic questions if there’s any Ulster Scots blood in him? He also asks if Ulster Scots is truly a language.

Among the well-known landmarks visited by Tim during his journey are Carrickfergus and its castle, Bangor Abbey and Dunluce Castle.

Tim McGarry’s Ulster Scots Journey, a two part series is due to begin on Wednesday, December 11 on BBC One Northern Ireland at 10.35pm.

The series was made by the Hole in the Wall Gang Ltd with assistance from the Northern Ireland Screen Ulster-Scots Broadcast Fund.
