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

A3. A legend from #Scotland's history is, Saint Triduana. When the King of the Picts became infatuated with her eyes, Triduana rejected him by cutting them out with a thorn and sending them to him. We reckon he took the hint! 👀 Read more: https://t.co/8Fekm5cyXY #ScotlandHour

A3. Perhaps the tale of the Cailleach, a divine guardian who watches over Loch Awe in Argyll and its 20 crannogs 🌊
Or the legend of the Pictish Maiden Stone in Aberdeenshire, rumoured to actually be a woman turned stone by the Devil: https://t.co/V1zfbJoTVa

A3. A nod towards the glimmering shape-shifting water spirits patrolling our countries' waters and in honour of the horse powered heritage of Scotland's canals, the beautiful Kelpies are our favourite! 🐴

A3 not really a ‘favourite’ but the one that always sticks with me. The sad story of the Covenanters jailed at Dunottar

A3 I'm not sure it counts because it's technically Irish, but the Scottish warrior woman Scáthach living in her fortress of shadows on Skye and training the warrior Cú Chulainn is definitely up there. #womangoals #scotlandhour

A3. Myth & Legend.
I’m not 100% sure this counts but Tam o’ Shanter is a brilliant myth created by none other than oor Rabbie Burns #ScotlandHour #Ayrshire

#ScotlandHour A3. My favourite myth/legend/story is that William Wallace came from Elderslie. I'm from Renfrewshire, so of course I want Wallace to be from Renfrewshire as well @ScotlandHour https://t.co/QTqvFkkVIc

A3: There's just too many to choose from. We'd highly recommend checking out Sir Walter Scott's Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border. It includes the tale of Thomas The Rhymer who is given the gift of prophecy by the Queen of Elfland. #ScotlandHour
