'The Establishment of Ulster's Plantation Towns' by Dr Brendan Scott

This lecture is the first in a six-part series exploring Irish history from the Plantation of Ulster to Partition, organised to mark the 250th anniversary of Armagh Robinson Library, Northern Ireland's oldest public library.
The lecture provides an overview of the origin and development of Ulster's plantation towns. The speaker, Dr Brendan Scott, is Cavan County Council's Historian-in-Residence. He has written and edited a number of books and articles on religion and society in early modern Ireland, including 'Society and Administration in Ulster's Plantation Towns' (2019).
The lecture was organised by Armagh Robinson Library, working in collaboration with Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council and part-financed by the NI Executive Office. The Library is also grateful to the Northern Ireland Museums Council for support through its 'Museums Connect' programme.

Well done Brendan on pulling together such a fascinating and informative presentation. You had me chuckling with your “come and settle in Iraq” comparison. Your point that things must have still been in such a mess after the 9 years war makes good sense. I’ll be ordering your book.

Thank you for doing this video, as someone from an Ulster Protestant background, I found your video very educational.

I dont think the churches at the cross roads are unique to Ulster .they are the same in the rest of Ireland.I guess we had the plantation as well......
