Scotlandhour St. Andrew’s Day Special: Monday 30 November

#ScotlandHour St. Andrew’s Day Special: 30.11.15

Celebrate Scotland’s National Day Your Way on Monday 30th November 2015 with #scotlandhour

#scotlandhour is joining forces with  www.scotland.org/standrewsday to mark the celebrations across the country, with a special Twitter chat on Monday 30 November at the earlier time of 8-9pm to allow some of the #scotlandhour team to tweet live on the night of the Virgin Money Street of Light in Edinburgh.

We’ll be joined by co-host tweeters from VisitScotland and @AboutScotland and we still have room for more, so if you’re interested in helping us co-host the chat please tweet @scotlandhour or #scotlandhour team members.

We’ll have to be creative with two tags & 140 characters but we’re sure our #scotlandhour community will do it!
