#ScotlandHour

The first #scotlandhour of the year is next Wednesday, January 29th. The theme is the impact Sir Walter Scott and Robert Burns have on today's Scottish Tourism. @AbbotsfordScott @Burns_Ellisland @BigBurnsSupper @burnsandbeyond #scott #burnsnight

@kintaline Hi there, at the moment Fiona and I have paused running Scotlandhour monthly chats due to low participation numbers here and also time pressures for us both. Always happy to hear from others about getting involved but that's where we are at just now. @FionaDrane @markcalpin

@ScotlandHour is Scotlandhour no longer continuing?

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel hoping he got it right. Then 40,000 emails from Marriott associates from around the world hit his inbox saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. @MarriottBonvoy still has my business.

Such sad news. Our thoughts and condolences to her family and many friends. Christina was such a bright, bubbly, warm character, who showed tremendous passion in all that she became involved with. She helped #Scotlandhour and got us listed in Parliament. RIP Christina

@ScotlandHour A4 I absolutely love the clever and engaging modern exhibit design at both of the Burns museums in Alloway. The labels in Gaelic are brilliant too. #ScotlandHour

Thanks for taking part in this great discussion. Next month, #scotlandhour will occur on 26th Feb at 90m. Get it in the diary. @markcalpin and @FionaDrane thank you for the support

#ScotlandHour Q4: Both Burns and Scott celebrated Scotland’s culture uniquely. What are some modern ways their legacies are being preserved or reimagined for visitors?
