The Weaver Poets were a group of people who worked in the linen industry in Ulster in the 18th and 19th Centuries and wrote poems mainly in Ulster-Scots. Ulster-Scots is a version of the Scots language that the weaver poets’ ancestors brought with them from Scotland during the Plantation of Ulster.
