The Maine Ulster-Scots Project
The Maine Ulster-Scots Project (MUSP) is a not-for-profit organisation established in 2006 by a group of volunteer enthusiasts in Amine USA with the aim of uncovering, saving and sharing Maine’s rich Ulster-Scots history.
The Ulster-Scots Agency works in partnership with MUSP and together we have been involved in a number of collaborative activities that support learning about our shared history and close historic and cultural links.
Some examples of our joint activities include:
