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

Then there's the Assynt giant:
"He lies just a little way from here, his head profiled at Suilven and his shoulder at Canisp. The rest of him has sunk into the moors. He repelled the Hibernian giants, they say."

Q2. Spoilt for choice here, but we'll go with 'The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft a-gley' from 'To a Mouse' for its continued literary influence. More people should know where the saying originates!

📖 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
