A3. #DYK Edinburgh's Princes St. Gardens was once a lake?

Built by James III in 1460 as a defence for @edinburghcastle, for 300 years the Nor' Loch served as the city's cesspit and a place for trying suspected witches 🧙‍♀️

Imagine the archaeology hidden below! #Scotlandhour

A3: Paisley's Secret Collection is the first publicly-accessible museum store on a UK High Street! The basement unit is home to thousands of items from Renfrewshire’s museum collections, not on display in the main museum https://t.co/Wbnobkg63u #ScotlandHour @ScotlandHour

A3: One of the most remarkable places to visit in Orkney is the perfectly preserved Stone Age village of Skara Brae. We've compiled some fascinating facts about Skara Brae you may not know! https://t.co/0DjCM5HDHe #Scotlandhour

replying to @ScotlandHour @ScotlandHour A2 A walk out to the temple at Northton in Harris is always stunning and worth the effort. Usually you have it all to yourself. You can just see the ruins on the distant headland. #Scotlandhour

A3 We always like to think our Blair Street Underground Vaults are hidden in plain sight! You can see the bridge but so many people don't even know what lurks below #Scotlandhour

A3: There are some incredible castles to see around #Aberdeen – each with a unique story to tell and lots of secrets https://t.co/6dhHDxKoBz #ScotlandHour

A3 #Orkney’s Neolithic history is full of secrets, but you can’t hide a site like @NessofBrodgar 😀 The six acres of excavations are a hive of activity every summer https://t.co/2B0zS6Yg87 #VisitOrkney #ScotlandHour

A3 We started exploring Scotland around 7 years ago and were amazed at what we had on our own doorstep, lochs, wildlife and history. It wasn't hidden, we had just never looked before #scotlandhour #scotland @ScotlandHour @VisitScotland

#ScotlandHour A3 - Footdee, pronounced 'Fittie' by locals is a quirky and historic fishing village at the end of Aberdeen's mile-long beach 🐟. A secret spot in plain sight - we love when visitors discover it 😍👀 #beautifulABDN #ScotlandIsNow #loveUK https://t.co/MWgLoBZrik

A3 If you follow the subtle signs at #HiddenDoor you're always in for a treat hiding in plain sight - among other things, adventurous late-night explorers were this year rewarded with the Rave Cave @LeithTheatre! Did you find it? #ScotlandHour @ScotlandHour

replying to @ScotlandHour @ScotlandHour A3. There are some amazing secret bars hidden around Edinburgh, that you can easily walk straight past. One of my favourites is @pandaandsons they do the best cocktails! #Scotlandhour

A2 Last year we discovered a secret hidden gem @LeithTheatre - a beautiful #ArtDeco Theatre disused for decades, brought back to life for #HiddenDoor multi-arts festival. Were you there? #ScotlandHour #Edinburgh #Leith

A3: The long-gone voices from the ancient sites dotted around #Orkney could tell us many tales of ancient civilisations, religious customs, & much more at which we can only guess #ScotlandHour https://t.co/C9CMJQTpEN

#ScotlandHour A3 Paisley has a castle. It's called Stanely Castle and it's now surrounded by the Stanely dam @ScotlandHour @paisleyis

replying to @ScotlandHour @ScotlandHour A3 You might walk past this wall without ever seeing this💔. But once you know! St Clements, Rodel, Harris. #Scotlandhour

replying to @markcalpin @markcalpin @ScotlandHour The Coats Observatory is going to be closed for a few years, as part of the refurbishment of the Paisley Museum & Art Gallery. I'm looking forward to seeing it again, when it's all done up #Scotlandhour

Good question! Can't wait to read other answers!

A3. For me it would be the secrets of Rosslyn Chapel. SO much for such a small place, you'd have to visit over and over to uncover it all. #ScotlandHour
