Rabā€™s at the centre of Tyroneā€™s Plantation, Sylviaā€™s trying to see a rare comet and Helen ā€œmeetsā€ a listener from Virginia.

Rab visits the Hill at the centre of Tyroneā€™s Plantation, Sylvia searches the skies for a rare comet and Helen hears the Ulster-Scots story behind a Virginian writerā€™s new book.

Rab Lennox visits Ranfurly House in Dungannon to hear how the Scots were part of the areaā€™s history from the 16th century. Sylvia Burnside joins night-sky enthusiast Willie Laverty in the hope of a glimpse of a rare comet, but finds a life form closer to home. Helen Mark chats to Virginian author David Joyce about his new book of fictional letters from his Ulster-Scots ancestors.

The Kintra team loves to hear from listeners ā€“ so why not get in touch with an Ulster-Scots yarn or maybe even suggest a tune youā€™d love to hear ā€“ you can email them at kintra@bbc.co.uk .
