Culture section? Would anyone be interested in adding a section on Cairncastle's growing arts and heritage scene, centred on the Ulster-Scots revival that is gaining prominence in some parts of Northern Ireland (and also in Donegal)? Since 2000, Cairncastle has been running an annual festival of music and dance; July 2010's festival was a five-day production with around 30 performing acts, several workshops, and open session involving 40+ musicians. During the year, Cairncastle hosts monthly music nights on a smaller scale, as well as Highland Dancing classes for youngsters. These cultural offerings were initially hosted by the local Orange Order lodge. Although they maintain that tie, Cairncastle Ulster-Scots has become a phenomenon in its own right, and it's a notable fact about the village and this area of E. Antrim.

I am happy to write the basic sketch of this information, if someone will make a section for Culture, or something like it. I am only a newbie on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.117.157.61 (talk) 07:36, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
