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. 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

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
