The Unicorn: Scotland's National Animal, and National Embarrassment?
Play • 50 min

A Scottish Podcast About Scotland!

America has the Bald Eagle, Brazil has the Jaguar, Russia has the Brown Bear and Scotland has the Unicorn.

That's right, ever since the 1300s Scotland has been obsessed by the big horned horse and this week we tell you why it's not as bonkers as it first seems.

Also, you can phone us and leave a voicemail for your favourite amateur nonsense talkers. Just call in to 4844 TDN POD (484 483-6763) and give us your thoughts (charges may apply).

Pull on your favourite unicorn hoodie and get a cup of rainbows and sunshine, it's Thistle Do Nicely story time
