A1 ‘Highland Mary’ who Burns had a brief love affair with, was originally from Dunoon & he composed a song about her titled “The Highland Lassie O”. She sadly died from a fever in 1786, & is buried in Greenock. She also has a statue in Dunoon which was built in 1896 #ScotlandHour

A1. Love the story of Sir Walter Scott whose favourite view (now called Scots view) his horses knew so well that they stopped on each visit and did so when his funeral cortege passed on the way to Dryburgh Abbey. #ScotlandHour #YS2022 #TalesOfScotland #CelebrateBurnsNight

A1 Perched on a vertiginous clifftop setting, the now ruinous Dunskey Castle stands proud, gazing dreamily over the seas it once commanded. Built for the Adairs of Kilhilt, it has links with pirates, pipers and at least one haunting tragedy. #TalesofScotland #YS2022 #ScotlandHour

A1: I’m down here in the Borders working with @SGHBBA_tweets & hard to pin down to one story or legend. I’m swirling with ghosts of Bruce, King Arthur, Thomas the Rhymer & those pesky Romans. The land here alive with tales & legends 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ys2022 @VisitScotland #scotlandhour

📖 A2. Not necessarily a line from his poem, but an extract from his diary, he wrote this about Dundee when he visited, and it is definitely fitting to share this on his birthday! #ScotlandHour #YS2022 #TalesOfScotland #CelebrateBurnsNight #DundeeDay @ScotlandHour
