BBC Travel asks what unicorns mean to Scottish identity. According to 74-year old tour guide Kenny Hanley:

“It’s long been a symbol of purity and power, but also of virginity and subtlety,” said Hanley, who works as a Blue Badge guide for the Scottish Tourist Guides Association. “And those values still stand up when thinking about Scotland today. These are characteristics embedded in the Scottish psyche.”

I can think of many characteristics embedded in the Scottish psyche. But if I had to name any, purity and subtlety, let alone virginity, would not be among them. Sorry, Kenny.
