Scotland History Tours is here for people who want to learn about Scottish history and get ideas for Scottish history tours. I try to make videos which tell you tales from Scotland's past and give you information about key dates in Scottish history and historical places to visit in Scotland. Not all videos are tales from Scotland's history, some of them are about men from Scotland's past or women from Scotland's past. Basically the people who made Scotland. From April 2020 onward I've tried to give ideas for historic days out in Scotland. Essentially these are days out in Scotland for adults who are interested in historical places to visit in Scotland.
As a Scottish history tour guide people ask: Help me plan a Scottish holiday, or help me plan a Scottish vacation if your from the US. So I've tried to give a bit of history, but some places of interest in Scotland as well.
I'm from Australia and I have never been to Scotland, but these videos are like a free tour with the best tour guide.
If you are white Australian with ancestors from the British Isles, then you might have some Scottish blood. You are just exploring your own history.👍🏽
It's crazy how you remembered all that dialogue without a cut. Grade A banter and charismatic. You're a natural presenter lad 👍
I've just rewatched this, and marvelled how long the takes are. Bruce's ability to walk and talk, while not forgetting his lines, is very impressive.

@@ScotlandHistoryToursUnlike Gerry Ford, according to LBJ.
Very true and well spotted! . I think it’s fair to say Bruce is an historian , so he can reel this off like GPT unlike a presenter reading lines. He knows his stuff !
This channel has become my latest addiction. Thank you for such entertaining and educational content.
You're welcome!
@CTHULHU I agree,he does need a telly channel but not the BBC!
Just became my favourite Love it 🏴🏴
@CTHULHU B.B.C?? That`s Blasphemy! lol
@@thegreens980 -- Couldn't agree more !! He's brilliant, & really knows his stuff . (- I Hate the BBC ).
That was funny. Loved the comedy. More entertaining than the history lectures when I was in college almost 50 years ago.
Yeah he was in extremely good form in this one. He is always funny, but the aside comments and digs today were excellent.
Bruce these videos are fantastic! From an English man who got most of his Scottish history from Billy Connolly's World tour of Scotland!
You really have a gift for making the complex history of Scotland (but also Britain by extension) understandable and interesting. You are a natural teacher.
You're too kind
Enjoyed that. You where born to tell these stories. Thank you.
You're a pure legend by the way! If I ever bump intae ye... I'm buyin.
I'm drivin the dodgeum car tae yer hoose as we speak😂

🤣🤣🤣 👌
Whole lot better than that bam Neil Oliver
I've been listening to David Crowthers 'a history of England' on podcast along side your channel and it's clear to me that through all of our joint historys we are more deeply entwined as a people and muddied be the waters of time than we would like to admit but the key defining moments have created unique cultures and people that give us our countries today.
Thank you for your time and energy for sharing these insightful snippets into history from a ever curious Englishman.
You're welcome
Bruce, I went to uni to study history. I'd have given my left arm to have had a lecturer as interesting, entertaining, and as easy to watch as you. Keep up the excellent work, I love this channel!
😂 Aye, until the exams came
Bruce is killing it with these videos ! Absolutely outstanding
I could spend all Saturday listening to your history lessons about Scotland and its many people. Great info.
Yay
Scotland in the house! 🏴
In the hoose.😏

I've been loving this series. I'm looking forward to seeing the Picts video when its ready. Thank you.
Pressure
@@ScotlandHistoryTours I have my pitchfork ready but I hope I wont have to use it...lol
@@ScotlandHistoryTours the bigger question is whos next the Picts or the Northmen ?
And if you wanted to throw the Normans into the mix . Their influence has long perplexed me as Scotland was the only nation that the Normans influenced in a different way from there normal practice of Conquest, marriage and alliance was the way that the Bruces and Comyns came to prominence they didnt do this anywhere else
@@ScotlandHistoryTours you're a joke.
I loved how you compared the Romans leaving Britain to the end of British rule in India. This really helped me to understand that period of British history.
Mate. You're the teacher that I never had. Keep doing what you do. 🙏
A great video, this time in the history of these isles has always been a favourite of mine.
You’re amazing with your historical monologues -well done
Most history teacher couldn’t do it
Love your videos man. I'm a born and bred Northumbrian with very old family ties to Bamburgh.
Very cool!
Very interested in this area of Southeastern Scotland the Angle territory. Always wondered how much of the Britons stayed in the area and were under rule by the Angles or did they mostly head west to Strathclyde. Thanks again Bruce great video.
Though it's probable that disease to some extent opened up the land to invaders. Plague is believed to have come from the southwest i.e. the Roman Empire, with the invaders coming from the east and much less severely hit by it. The early warrior invaders would have been short of women. Servants, serfs and slaves are valuable assets. Also taking children to raise as part of your own tribal group helps too more quickly replace the inevitable casualties. I'd say large numbers of surviving Britons stayed put. They were subsumed into the new dominant culture as most American Natives are today outside of the reservations. Further south from an Angle, Saxon and Jute perspective Scotland, Wales and Cornwall would be the equivalent of reservations (no pejorative meant they represent the limit of the power of the invaders). Celtic strongholds also existed in the English Peak and Lake Districts for awhile. When the Norse came to England they being of such a close linguistic and cultural group in large areas must simply have became, Norman like, overlords and did much less displacement of populations. Once again locally becoming the dominant culture and able to control such things as place names but eventually subsumed like the were Normans in their turn into what was to become English culture as must the Angles in Scotland have been into Scottish culture. But all groups will have left their contribution to some aspect of future culture. So the Scots (not Gaelic that's Irish) language probably has foundations that predate Modern English and is influenced by Modern English rather than being a dialect of Modern English
There definitely a lot of Brythonic influence in the placenames and a fair few Gaelic ones also. The Lothians seem to have been a pretty contested area between Britons, Gaels and Angles.
Cheers for the uploads mate .helps my father a lot as time runs out .
He loves them all .keep them coming 🏴🏴❤️.
Ah no😥
Thanks 🙏👍 for wonderful narration of deep history.😊
Gotta say I love your history vlogs! Your style of delivering the information is well engaging.
I’ve lived north of the boarder for over ten years now and consider myself “Yorkshire - Scottish “ not entirely sure that’s a legitimate ethnic group but I kinda have a foot in both camps 😆
Now subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work 👍🏻👍🏻
I am so impressed with your ability to remember complicated names and events. While I only got a Kindle sample, I can hardly wait to read “The King in the North.” Thanks for the recommendation and the video. Always a pleasure.
Glad it was helpful!
You're a fine story teller , bro ! Well done . Gripping .
Thanks for listening
Fantastic stuff Bruce; truly. My family and I are planning on coming over next year; would love to visit the locations you highlight.
Brilliant
Love your storytelling style. I wonder if you’ll eventually work your magic on the history of the rest of these islands if it’s not too big of a job. Either way, thanks for the amazing videos.
I'm happy in my wee corner😎
I like that scenery, looks so cool.
If this beach was in a hotter climate it would be in the top 10 in the world, it's absolutely amazing OcculiMortis.
It is cool indeed! Bruce has on a thick jumper, and the very few other folks on the beach, have jackets and trousers on, as likely a cold wind was blowing from the North Sea! That is so cool in the month of August!
@@margaretsmallallan28 👍
@@jontython 🤘right on.
Well of course, it's in England. 🤭
Yes, I AM following these videos. Bloody marvellous 😀.
Glad you like them!
Love learning about were my ancestors came from. Thanks Bruce . Much love from North Carolina ,U.S.A..
Irishman here. There's a great book by John Prebble that is a must read for all history buffs - The Lion In The North, first published in 1971.
Great channel by the way👍🏻!
Always a joy to watch thanks Bruce.
You're welcome. I loved you in Young Ones
@@ScotlandHistoryTours Vegetable rights and peace ✌🏻
Nearly spat my dinner out, when asked about Scottish Independence, as I have advocated for years the sooner England gets its independence the better, and we would most definitely hang on to Eire/Ireland.
I love your capacity to articulate the dynamics of history. There are so many things that happen, with their own time lines to create any one scenario in all stories, and in particular how history is or has been generally taught.
Your dissecting and weaving of these different stories into a relatable historical period, reminds me of Tolstoy......but with a guid sense of humour.
Another A+ on the report card Bruce.
Makes a difference to my old school report cards
Really would have been a neat way to deal with the whole brexit/independence shebang wouldn't it? England wants out of the EU? They can leave the UK.
@@ScotlandHistoryTours Mine too LOL
You will never hang onto Ireland.
Arrival of the Angles and their foothold on Scotland also marks the beginning of the shift in Scotland from a Celtic culture and language to a Germanic one, with Celtic influence holding out in the Highlands and Islands
That’s didn’t happen naturally it was forced on to the Scot’s
My mum got the belt for speaking in her mother tongue.
@@Parker_Douglasnot on the East Coast it wasn't as the Gaelic influence was less than in the West, hence why nolasting gaelic vulture in the East
I too am so wrapped up in this channel. The best history content of Scotland and all it's layers of tales and legends, and honest history. Not a wee little squeak, a grand effort.
😘
Thanks Bruce! I just started watching the "Vikings" Series on Rainforest Prime Video, if you catch my drift and these Videos are filling in some of the background. Thanks again dude :)
Glad you like them!
I love your take on Scottish/ British ethnicity. It puts the views of many reactionaries into perspective.
Remember always: reactionaries/conservatives (same difference) are never right about anything. Their entire point is to believe in myths and lies. All they care is to create powerbases and lies are no worries for them.
@@carlossaraiva8213 I'm pretty sure you can't get a conservative reactionary, two totally different perspectives. I think what your trying to say is nationalism has two equal but opposite opinions but they are at heart the same. Or that's what I hope your saying and not bringing biased politics into the conversation to conflate. 👍
@@davidsoulsby1102 Say.... what??
Dude, all conservatives are reactionairies. They are synonimous.
@@carlossaraiva8213 err no that's totally wrong, your confused by the propaganda I suspect.
@@davidsoulsby1102 Sir, you jest.
I didn't think I would be that interested in the history of Scotland, but with the way that you present it, I am now. Very interesting.
Your presenting and production are great mate, really enjoy your content. 👍
Much appreciated!
Brilliant as always, you’ve taken me back home. I’m visiting in July and I’ll think of you but I won’t be riding a horse along the beach as I have in the past. I’m so pleased you mentioned Utred as well - I’ve followed him all ever England with Bernard Cornwell. Keep keeping up the good work 🌞
I’m a Scot living in Australia I came across you while searching for something else, I absolutely love your sites been watching them love your humour it’s downright brilliant I’ll keep watching thanks for all the laughs and patter keep it commin..no I didn’t misspell it🎉 cheers Helen
Ah brilliant. Thanks
Brilliant, thanks Helen
Just found that I have a bit of Scottish blood. Learning this history from your videos is as entertaining as it is informative. What an interesting people and land. Thanks...
Awesome history videos, easy to understand thanks for posting.
Glad you like them!
Bamburgh castle is a fantastic place to visit, I usually go to photograph there once a year
It certainly is!
Great video 👍 I was wondering when you'd make a video specifically on the Angles 😉
Last kingdom is one of my favourite shows & im definitely visiting this location it looks stunning.
Excellent series, learning alot about Scottish history. From Northumberland in Angleland.
This channel is better than what's on the tv, loving it
This has been the best series of videos yet
as always interesting, fun, informative and great.
Thanks again!
been to that castle a few times.... i could never imagine it being used in a SCOTLAND history tour
Well now you don't even have to imagine😁
Ironically they used it in most recent movie version of Macbeth
It took me all of five seconds of watching this video to make me fall in love with your content. Sub'd for life!
Brilliant
Another great video. I didn’t know much about the angles. Being a fifer, descended from the caves at weymss I’m really looking forward to the Picts!
Aye, the question is: How can I make it spectacular enough to live up to everyone's expectations?
Same here Sean , my lot lived in Perthshire a wee bit back in time .
Sean Smart..........only a true fifer has webbed toes :)
@@geoffdundee shhh…. Don’t tell everyone Christ! Lol
@@ScotlandHistoryTours maybe speak to the Weymss and see if they’ll let you in and around? That’d be a world first and I can only imagine the collections and stories that family hold close.
Another awesome one man. Your thumbnails are great by the way
Glad you like them! That's my laddie
@@ScotlandHistoryTours They're awesome. The bright colours stand out really well on UA-cam when I'm flicking through
Great Video Bruce exactly what I needed before sleep. Thanks so much for these videos and you definitely have got what it takes to get story across in a humorous way. I'm glad I was here while you only had a few thousand subscribers for a while before you just took of. My favourite You Tuber tbh Lots others have subscribed not just for the historic content but coz yer genuine Personality shows through Pal 👍
In at the ground floor mate
As a Geordie enjoyed that video, Northumberland is a fantastic place, if you love castles, history etc then it's your place. Oh and we have some of the best beaches in the UK, we just haven't got the weather 😂😂😂. Great video cheers mate.
St. Andrews has got one of the best beaches in Europe, it's just 1000 miles too far north and faces the wrong direction. Who wants to sunbathe facing Norway when you can go to Spain and face Africa?
Never miss a video absolutely awesome history is fun and definitely worth watching
😘
Fantastic… ‘hegemony’ and ‘zombie apocalypse’ and all before the Vikings arrive! Great stuff
😂
Scottish history can't get any better with accent too boot!
Glad I found this channel I’m Irish and Scottish but never was interested in Scottish history until I watched this after a fat rip.
Brilliant
@@ScotlandHistoryTours was not expecting a reply 🤣🤣
Excellent stuff again. Good history, one that tells it with all the nuance and complexity, is so important in this post-truth age of re-invented nationalisms of whatever hue. And you do it so well. You’re a natural presenter.
Now I’m off to watch your video on the Picts.
PS liked that walking programme on the BBC the other week.
Thank you sir
After binging "Last Kingdom" on Netflix, this 5 video series was super interesting and enlightening. Thank you. So many new facets. So Uthred of Bamburgh, the hot-head, was a real thing....
There ye go
Loved the brief tartan zombie appearance; and nice artwork on the wall-climbing barbarian.
Thanks to my laddie
My only issue with the wall climbing fella, was if he was at Bamburgh, he still had a good journey South left to get to said wall
Who was it that said “To move forward, we must look back”? Always enjoy your videos, you are so knowledgeable it’s unreal! ✅
@@youdontknowmebut Without the past there cannot be a future, that is why trying to deny the past is insane. I always say that my past is the road that brought me to today.
Love yer stuff Bruce - I live in Alnmouth but I was born in Perth (!) lived in Aberdeen , Edinburgh and Glasgow not necessarily in that order so I know a good spectrum of Scotland, I have been to The Hebrides Orkney and the Northwest . I see you walking on one of our beaches - it's lovely. I am going to have to watch mair ae yer vids as they are captivating and here I am at nearly 11pm! All the best to you and yours.
Scottish tourism should be paying you! I'm visiting my daughter in Scotland and visiting some of the sites you mentioned.
Brilliant
Thank you so much
I have been living in Dundee for the past 20 odd years and I never learnt so much
Ta
Wonderful!
Bruce man you need to be approaching Netflix. Have a series or somthing, not like there isn't enough history to make it worth while... with the whole Scottish independence push a series like that would rocket. Loving the early scotting history too man thanks again Bruce
Steve
Hmmm it seems easier just to do this and swan aboot the place
Not many delve into the 600s . A messy time indeed and not well documented. So thanks for this interesting contribution. Good stuff.
My pleasure!
Surely anything in Britain, in Europe even, between 410 and King Offa 350 years later was so chaotic and the written accounts so unreliable that we can only guess at what really happened. The fundamental idea of a European civic society was reinstated with the coronation of Charlemagne in 800- just in time for the Vikings to arrive in continental Europe. Even in the 12th century, absolute chaotic breakdown could come back at any time, in a way that didn't even happen in the wake of such catastrophes as the Black Death, the Thirty Years War or World War II. We may see those days again, as our basic social ties and institutions weaken.
Most of my reading of History and watching videos of the same have been marred by the impression that history was as dried up and dead as the remains of some unfortunate whose crypt has been disturbed.
I enjoy your videos because you put some flesh and blood to history. Kudos to you. I hope you will continue to create and upload more history for years to come.
Thanks
Now I know how Bernard Cornwell's fictional Uhtred of Bamburgh Castle sort fit into the creation of England and Scotland via a very loose historical tie in with the real historical Uhtred of Bamburgh Castle. I may be having an epiphany regarding historical fiction and historical fact via Bruce's wee stories.
Amazing account. Thank you.
Glad you like it!
Fantastic History! Thank you Bruce!
Love your prescentations bruce far more Intresting🏴🇬🇧
Cheers
First one of your video I've seen but this is awesome better than anything I've seen on TV.
Wow, thanks!
Thank you for the family history.
I'm from Newcastle and spend a lot of time in Northumberland. Really really enjoying the education 👍
Whoa I learned more here than I did in my courses at uni. Thanks! Lindisfarne was super important for my courses but no one mentioned this.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you I like watching your videos
A GREAT INSIGHT TO THE HISTORY AND LOCATIONS ALONG WITH YOUR SNARKY HUMOUROUS TWIST BRUCE , TAKE CARE MEEE SCOTISH BROTHER 👌👌👌
😜
Hello from the Kingdom of East Anglia.😊
Wow, and Thank You...
Really enjoyed that. The king in the north is my favourite book. It mentions the little village I’m from a couple of times Gilling it’s where Oswine was murdered.
your a good story teller. Enjoying the channel.
Delighted you're enjoying it
Very interesting video, love it, maybe more history about England and Northern England too. We all are connected somewhere on these islands through a bloodline.
The whole world's connected. I am doing a week on the border at the end of March, so we'll cross over as I did here, but remember the channel is SCOTLAND History Tours.
Mr Fummey!!! Love the channel! Glad I found it and I'm glad that you've found your calling here. Sending good vibes from one of your auld bawbag pupils! Was always happy to get you as a supply teacher. You would give the patter right back to the cheeky wee shites in class 😂 (me being one of them....) Keep up the good work ✌️
Another video. Thank you sir
I really love this channel! You do great work.
Welcome to England Glad to have ya !!
It was shut😜
Great content as always mate!
Cheers
Newly discovered historion for me, highly addicted and a joy to listen too
Like the humour, it's a bit like my old history teacher Rab Alexander - I recall one time after drawing a Roman Quinquereme on the board he drew a sharks fin near it and labelled it 'Anthony Barber' ! Well he was a Partick Thistle supporter!
Excellent video Bruce . I've always found the concept that people south of the Tweed are a different people to those north of the Tweed quite ridiculous . I hope you can do a video towards the west of the border on the "Welsh" Bretonic Kingdoms of Strathclyde and Cumbria soon .
There was a link to that video at the end of this one
@@ScotlandHistoryTours Great , I found it , watched it and enjoyed it, thanks . Keep up the great work !
Very entertaining and informative. Because of you, I'm now putting together the origin of the Scots into a cohesive timeline. 👍 for you Bruce.
Wonderful!
Was hoping you’d call him Uhtred of Bebbanburg😂
Great video Bruce
love this stuff...I usually don't subscribe, but for this channel I make an exception.
Guid lad
Right the moment you mention the vikings the vid was interupted...by a tourism add for Danmark 🙂
nice to see you near Alnmouth!
Oh, after reading 13 Bernard Cornwell's books, this is the video that I needed. I would like to see Bamburgh Castle from a short distance 😔
Anyway I loved it as always ❤
It's gorgeous place
