Framing @DunollieOban #Oban's iconic seastack is called the Dog Stone, for, according to #legend, it is where the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill, or Finn MacCool, would tie his dog Bran when he visited #Scotland. #Scotlandhour #virtualscotland

A1.Thereโs no place like (a haunted) home- if only castle walls could speak! Legend has it that Cardoness Castle was cursed and led any family that dwelt the land to tragedy or even death. Scotlandโs Castles are rich with history and legends https://t.co/gEjcFZtKHU #ScotlandHour

replying to @markcalpin @markcalpin A1 I love when you go for walks in the Scottish countryside and come across old ruined places like these! Tomich in Glen Affric and where the Golden Retriever was first bread over 150 years ago #ScotlandHour

A2. How could we possibly choose? Scotlandโs history is full of fascinating stories, many of which are kept alive at our sites! The stunning Threave Castle was as much witness to the Black Douglases as the glorious Skara Brae was the heart of Neolithic life #Scotlandhour

A2 Our favourite 'part' of Scotland's history is stories about its people. The stories of resilience, compassion and community spirit...as apt today as it's always been #ScotlandHour #CommunitySpirit

Built in the 1100s, Castle Sween in Argyll is possibly #Scotland's oldest. It was a stronghold of Suibhne โthe Redโ & the MacDonald Lords of the Isles. You can see why it's our favourite secret #Scottish #castle! #scotlandhour #virtualscotland #history

A2. Over the centuries, #MaryKingsClose would have been home to up to 700 people at any one time. The stories of the residents who lived, worked and died here will forever be our favourite part of #Scottish history! #Modest #RealEdinburghStories #ScotlandHour

A2. St Margaret's Chapel was built by King David I and he dedicated it to his mother, Queen Margaret. She was said to have performed many acts of charity and was canonised by Pope Innocent IV in 1250. It is the oldest building in the castle and the city. #ScotlandHour
