#ScotlandHour I hope that this is not too cheeky. I'm working towards monetising my channel. They money will go towards shooting more videos on location. I need to get my hours worth of view up. Who wants to help? @ScotlandHour https://t.co/mWOkRCI0BY

replying to @susannewilliams @susannewilliams That is fascinating! I think Mary has been so misrepresented in movies and TV shows that always favorite Elizabeth. I loved learning more about Mary when I visited Stirling. #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! 🐴

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

replying to @HereScotland
A2: Special mention goes to William Wallace and the First War of Independence: Many think Wallace was active in the Highlands only but many battles were fought right here, in Midlothian and the Borders.
And he was declared Guardian of Scotland in Selkirk! #ScotlandHour

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
