Happy St Andrew's Day! It's Scotland's National Day and a celebration of all things Scottish, so here are two of the country's symbols combined. The Unicorn and the Saltire! People always give me a strange look when they find out Scotland's National animal is the Unicorn...

On this day in 1306: Robert The Bruce was crowned King of Scots at Scone. After the execution of William Wallace, he led the campaign to regain Scottish independence, culminating in his stunning victory at the Battle of Bannockburn in June 1314.

There's been major upheavals in the political world since we joined twitter 12 years ago, and the UK has changed for the worse. Support for Scottish independence is still as strong as it was at the 2014 indyref ballot, so it's time that question was asked again! #MyXAnniversary
