A5: #Orkney holds a range of stories & myths.

From sea-dwelling shape-shifters close to Eynhallow Church to brownies once inhabiting the Click Mill & tales of the Dwarfie Stane housing dwarf Trolld in Norse sagas, these sites look like they could tell many a tale! #ScotlandHour

A5 Hmmm all of Scotland is exciting and full of discoveries but we'll have to be biased and say Mackay Country! #ScotlandHour So many stories. #HighlandClearances #Jacobites #UboatSurrender #ClanMackay #RobDonn

A5: We are lucky to overlook a fair bit of central Scotland with many amazing historical sites in the area including @TheWallaceMon and @welovehistory sites Castle Campbell and Doune Castle. #ScotlandHour

Footprint stone @ Dunadd, where kings of Dalraita were crowned. The iron age hillfort is associated with #legends, from witches & fairies to King Arthur & Ossian. Ancient exotic trade goods found there tell us they were actually a worldly bunch. #scotlandhour #virtualscotland

A5. You won't be shocked that we find #Edinburgh's history the most exciting! From the medieval Old Town, to the Georgian New Town; there is history around every corner. #DYK @Edinburgh_CC was once The Royal Exchange, built in 1753 as a market place. #ScotlandHour

replying to @KirstenAlana @KirstenAlana When I was small, I wrote a book called "Rule of the Unicorns". It had no plot, and wasn't great writing.

It's been completely rehashed for next year's release: Unicorns Rule

Get those childhood stories out the cupboard, and get writing! #ScotlandHour

replying to @OdysseyScottish @OdysseyScottish @ScotlandHour Couldn't agree more! All real stories are almost always better than fiction anyway. And if nothing else, "truth is stranger than fiction." #ScotlandHour

McCaig's Tower, the crowing glory of #Oban. It was built by JS MCaig ca 1900 as a tribute to his family, who rose from poor farmers to wealthy pillars of the community. #Gaelic education programmes are still funded by the family's legacy. #scotlandhour #virtualscotland #drone

A5: Perhaps unsurprisingly, we love the tales and folklore of Midlothian and the Borders.

From the tragic story of the apprentice pillar at Rosslyn Chapel to Muckle Mouth Meg and the Border Reivers, there's magic, wars, love and so much more #ScotlandHour
