All you need to do to join in is to be ready to Tweet your answers to the questions below, which will be Tweeted out by your regular ScotlandHour hosts: @bairdtravels, @ScotlandHour @AileenLamb, @LesleyJudge, @HIEHamilton, @Fiona Drane and @SusanMcNaughton.  When you see a question (starting with Q1), answer by starting your Tweet A1, and remember to include #ScotlandHour in your answer to ensure that your Tweet will be included in the ScotlandHour stories which we create on Storify.com after the chat.

Be friendly, be positive, and remember to follow and continue the conversation with those you meet during the ScotlandHour chat.  All are welcome to join in within the format.  It’s a great way to meet others involved in welcoming visitors to Scotland.  By Tweeting from your business or personal account it gives others the chance to find out about you and your business, attraction or services.  Blatant self-promotion on the theme is not the idea behind this community effort, and could result in being blocked from the chat.

Next month’s ScotlandHour will be on Wednesday 25 September 2013 at 9 – 10 pm and is on the subject of Flora and Fauna – Scotland’s Wildlife. If you’d like to suggest questions for this theme, then head to our Facebook Page and submit them there.
