replying to @ScotlandHour @ScotlandHour The Paisley Abbey has connections to the Stewarts, therefore to the Windsors. According to local legend, William Wallace was educated in the monastery, of which the Abbey was part #ScotlandHour

replying to @ScotlandHour @scotlandhour A5 - finding places like this intrigue me and make me want to find out about lives & superstitions of those who lived there #caithness #virtualscotland #ScotlandHour
replying to @ScotlandHour @ScotlandHour A1. The English have their lion, the Americans their eagle and Scotland its unicorn. We’re myth-makers. #ScotlandHour

#ScotlandHour A6: Impossible to choose top 4 Scottish historic & lore-laden sites - every stone, hill & waterway holds countless stories. Still, these 4 will always stay with me:
Kisimul Castle, Barra | Dunadd, Kilmartin | Ring of Brodgar, Orkney | Dunino Den, Fife

A6. Here are some pictures of Brochs, each magical & mystical in their own right!
(I have no pics of Windy Ha' Broch, where a fairie gave powers of piping to a young lad. He became famous! But then he went back & the fairy stole him away, never to be seen again.)

A6 @ScotlandHour castles - because there is always at least 1 ghost story ! #virtualscotland #ScotlandHour
replying to @ScotlandHour @ScotlandHour A2. I’m more interested in Scotland’s present than its past, but I do like its castles. #ScotlandHour
A5 I am always surprised to find Second World War defences built into islands, left by little harbours in the hope a single gun might be enough to ward off invasion. This one on Coll just up from the ferry. #ScotlandHour
