Sad to hear that actress Gudrun Ure has died today at the age of 98. Born in Milton of Campsie, she was a seasoned actress of stage and screen. She was much-loved as Super Gran, the main character of the 1980s TV show.

The unicorn is Scotland's national animal. In Celtic mythology, it was a symbol of purity & innocence, as well as masculinity & power. It was first used on the Scottish royal coat of arms in the 12th century. Pretty sure that one didn't have a kilt on though 😆
