#ScotlandHour A1. What make's Scotland so rich in myths & legends? We all love a good story, and scaring the bejesus out of ourselves. Just look at stories about the Kelpies & the Big Grey Man of Ben McDhui @ScotlandHour

replying to @mtnsofscotland @mtnsofscotland Now that's a bit harsh. What is it with religions turning people to salt or stone?! But makes for a good story. #ScotlandHour

A1: And, when things like this wash up on the beach, is there any wonder our imaginations are fuelled?
Can you see the unusual?

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

#ScotlandHour I'm an independent author. All of my books are available on Amazon, as paperbacks & Kindles. I love myths and legends, especially those of Scotland. So full of darkness, but there's always a humour there. @ScotlandHour https://t.co/OWmTD1UjLY

A1: I also suspect that the weather & whisky have contributed to the rich storytelling tradition.

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

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