#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

Q4 If you were given some artistic licence to create a myth or legend of your own, or adapt a bit of history, what would you create? #Scotlandhour #virtualscotland

replying to @MrsCarrothead @MrsCarrothead If it's an Irish story but it's about Scotland, should count, no?! Though I'm not unaware there is a bit of a rivalry isn't there *wink* #ScotlandHour

A4: We’re big on unicorns (especially @stirlingcastle) – which made us think of its water twin, the narwhal (which does exist!). Imagine this unicorn of the sea making its way from Tantallon past Inchcolm & Blackness, all the way up to Stirling Castle! #ScotlandHour #YCW2020

A4. If we could adapt any history we would speed up the development of indoor plumbing! For centuries, the families waste bucket would be dragged across the house, thrown onto the street, with a cry of "𝙂𝘼𝙍𝘿𝙔 𝙇𝙊𝙊"... No luck for anyone out on a stroll. #ScotlandHour

replying to @Kimkjaerside @Kimkjaerside @VisitArran Plenty does get past me but just happened to see that one rather obviously. Perhaps because I have hands so much on the brain (washing them 20x a day!) that it just seemed to jump out. #ScotlandHour

A4: Well, for the sequel to Taking Wing, I've taken an African #myth and made it worldwide:
The Ennedi, or Ennedi Tiger - a sabre toothed beastie who, in my version, can steal someone's soul.
No book is complete without a good dose of soul stealing!

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
