| Publisher Description: The 15th issue of Ullans: The Magazine for Ulster-Scots has as its special feature an extended article by John Erskine on Ulster-Scots bird names, which includes an introduction, sources, notes and works consulted, as well as an extensive list of names in English, Latin and Ulster-Scots. Also included on the bird theme is "The Ornithologist" by Thomas Stott, a poem in Ulster-Scots that first appeared in the Belfast Commercial Chronicle in 1805. A further feature of this issue is the complete short novel The Wet Wooing: A Narrative of Ninety-Eight by Sir Samuel Ferguson. Among the other articles are "Who Fears to Write of Ninety-Eight?", "Nesca Robb of Lisnabreeny", "Carnmoney Witches", and "John Getty of Randalstown and Ballymena". The magazine, produced by the Ulster-Scots Language Society (now in its 26th year), contains the usual complement of contemporary Ulster-Scots writing in prose and verse from both past contributors and some very welcome new ones. |
