The Ulster-Scot is a free, monthly publication produced by the Ulster-Scots Agency, published in Northern Ireland. It is a product of incentives to encourage awareness of Ulster heritage and often provided as a supplement with local newspaper The News Letter. It was first published in November 2002.
The news topics are based around the heritage of Ulster Scots and the Ulster variant of the Scots language. The main content of the paper is written in English with various tit-bit sections in Ulster-Scots. It reports on Ulster-Scots events such as dances and Burns suppers, as well as releases of traditional music on CD and books about Ulster-Scots language and culture.
The Ulster-Scot has occasioned some controversy. The writer and broadcaster Malachi O'Doherty reported in the Belfast Telegraph on 2 December 2002 that a republican friend thought the paper made Ulster Protestants appear "stupid".
A notable regular feature in The Ulster-Scot is "The Crack", a column written in Ulster Scots, which gives writer Conal Gillespie's opinion on recent news. It can be read online at the Ulster Scots Agency website, ulsterscotsagency.com.
The editor of The Ulster-Scot is the church journalist Billy Kennedy and its associate editor is Joanne Crockard.
