🐲⚔️ A1. “The Dundee Dragon” is one of the best legends to come out of Dundee. The story is very interesting and revolves around the Nine Maidens! #ScotlandHour #YS2022 #TalesOfScotland #CelebrateBurnsNight #DundeeDay

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 One favourite is the Headless Piper of Corsock Moor, who spooked an unsuspecting drover many years ago - still not sure how he managed to play the pipes! My Grandad shared it with me and it has since influenced aspects of my storytelling #TalesofScotland #YS2022 #ScotlandHour

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 #scotlandhour Recently learnt of the Kishorn Dwarfs from the 19th century. although their parents were reportedly of normal height, it was suggested that their children’s height was due to a curse from the father’s ex-girlfriend. #YS2022 #TalesofScotland

A1. “Bluidy Tam” Dalyell playing cards with the Devil! It gives me shivers to think that the marble table he threw into a pond at House of the Binns was actually found there two centuries later 😱@scotlandhour #scotlandhour #yos2022 #TalesofScotland
