US media personality and former presidential candidate Patrick J Buchanan discusses his Ulster roots in an interview on Al Jazeera. He says that his family came from Scotland "all the way over to the plantation in Northern Ireland... and then they left there... and they arrived in North Carolina... around 1790 to 1820... and they went straight there to Mississippi and they immediately began to agitate for secession."
Hi,
ReplyDeletecool blog, i’ve been visiting Ulster Connections for a while now. I’ve started my own Ulster-Scots blog and I was wondering if you would be interested in a link swap? No problem if you are not interested. I have already taken the liberty to add your blog to my Ulster-Scots / Scots-Irish bloggers widget at netvibes.com. This widget is on my blog and website. Anyone can add it to their iGoogle homepage, Windows Vista desktop, Apple Dashboard, Windows Live or their own blog or website from here:
http://eco.netvibes.com/widgets/export/blog/393422/latest-posts-from-the-ulster-scots-blogging-community
This widget allows people to view a description of the latest posts from 13 blogs with an Ulster-Scots theme. If you have any reservations about your blog’s inclusion let me know and i will remove it ASAP!
All the best,
