A2. How could we possibly choose? Scotland’s 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

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

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

#ScotlandHour A2. My favourite part of Scottish history is the Wars of Scottish Independence (there's two of them), especially the First War (Wallace & the Bruce). I always remember my dad telling me stories of that period, when I was a kid @ScotlandHour

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 @markcalpin @markcalpin A2 I would love to explore the Isle of St Kilda. Read about it and also visited the museum on the Isle of Lewis a few years ago about the Island. That's what dreams are for ❤️🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #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

A2: That's so tough to choose!

Midlothian and the Borders has history you can still see today - from the Roman Dere Street and @TrimontiumTrust to the gunpowder mills in Roslin Glen. #ScotlandHour
