A2: We might be biased, but we would go for the reign of the Stewarts as James V built us this glorious Palace! #ScotlandHour

A2 @ScotlandHour Ummm, can we say ALL OF IT?! There’s just too much to choose from, spanning several millennia! Our tour guests are always staggered that we’re able to show them sites that are thousands of years old! #ScotlandHour #Scotland #History #VisitScotland #Archaeology

A1 I'd say history, myths, and legends do pretty well on islands where the population evacuated nearly a century ago. And all you have are ruins, seabirds, and some iron age sheep. @StKildaNTS #scotlandhour

A2 my favourite part is that linked with some of the most iconic and impressive structures that have been built like the Abbey in #Dunfermline #ScotlandHour

A1. It's because Scotland's old. Like really old. The best kind of old. The landscape (which is also really old) has loads of old stuff. Big bag of old stuff with the boys. Old.

A2. Our favourite part of Scotland's history? The journey that Scotland's canals have taken through time. Amazing feats of engineering transformed from industrial waterways to beautiful green & blue spaces! 😍

replying to @ScotlandHour @ScotlandHour A2 I think the various Standing Stones you'll find across Scotland has always fascinated me, to think many has stood for around 5,000 years (or there abouts). Which is yours? #ScotlandHour

A2. Our favourite part of Scotland’s history? Got to be anything to do with James IV. he’s a dream! 🤣 A true renaissance man. #greatmichael #scotlandhour #history

A2 some of the most fascinating are those that have stood the longest like the Brochs, like here in #Glenelg! #ScotlandHour

replying to @ladykateblacket @ladykateblacket I read that 'aye, that'll do nicely' in the voice of Ned Gowan from @Outlander_STARZ and my goodness but what fun that was. #ScotlandHour

A1: That's all thanks to our people we'd say! We've had many fascinating characters shape and create Scottish history over the centuries.
Just think of Sir Walter Scott here in the Borders, the many stories in stone @Rosslynchapel or at our abbeys #ScotlandHour

Cloister of St Conan's Kirk in #Argyll, built by brother/sister Walter and Helen Campbell in the Victorian era for his elderly mother so she didn't have to travel 12 miles to the nearest service. It was not open for worship, however, until 1930. #scotlandhour #virtualscotland

A3. The carved Pictish stones at St Vigean‘s Church gave rise to a tale that a Water Kelpie had built the church & still lived in a great subterranean loch beneath the church. From 1699-1736 the congregation was too scared to take Holy Communion there. #ScotlandHour #YCW2020

A3 Impossible to choose just 1 so we're going to cheat and say Tales of the North Coast by Alan Temperley and the students from @farrhighschool which is packed full of #myths & #legends #ScotlandHour

A2 my favourite part of Scottish history has to be the 19th century lighthouse boom. Least favourite part - the automation of the 1990s. I want to be a lighthouse keeper. #scotlandhour

A3. Staffa (Fingal’s Cave). Legend: the columns are the remains of a Giant's Causeway linking Scotland and Ireland built for a fight between Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill and Scottish giant Benandonner #ScotlandHour
