| Up around Ballymena is a stronghold of Ulster Scots [or Ullans] speaking. It is also strong in parts of Co Down. Those folk on that clip are all fairly well on in years. I'm just wondering do the younger generation still speak in the same manner. There are a couple on here who I believe hail from the Ballymena direction. Maybe they could throw some light on this.
