To be fair Bruce, it was simply the fact you'd posted a video that inspired me to click on it. But if you're going to insist I would prefer more background. Thank you so much ol' bean 😊
I'm more curious about the background of King James I's murder, to be honest. As brutal and as gruesome as that execution is, the history is fascinating to me.
Background, please. I'm glad to see you back. I missed you last week. Your videos are always entertaining, informative, and interesting! A fan from Southwest Oklahoma.
Bruce, "Click the like button at the end..." Me, clicking the like button before starting the video, "He's not let me down yet." 👍 Exeground!!! Backcution!!!
What videos? In the words of Monty Python's Mr Creosote, "I'll ave the lot". Story teller supreme, always fascinating and always learn something Thank you!
I admire your videos, which are both educational and entertaining. Only my lack of mobility prevents me from applying to join your eleven-day tour. Thank you. Were it to be possible, I should like to learn more about the background AND the execution, please
I love learning about the background of events. It helps me understand how they came about. I learned some of this in college, but you are much more easy to understand than some university lecturers.
I've never come across you before but I'm impressed. Yours is a very entertaining and informative style. I like that you don't try to sugar-coat the horror and brutality of those times. So, for anyone who yearns for a return to the good old days, there weren't any!
I cannot believe even surviving the first day of that. It’s fascinating how Edinburgh was such a brutal place for so long in history and now … just lovely. How the times change. Your videos are amazing as always Bruce .
Background. And I agree with everyone else's nice comments. Your videos are great! Scotland is high on my list of places to visit. I'll get there eventually, but in the meantime, I get to watch your videos! Thanks!
A new video from my favorite bard of history! That's why I clicked this on! I've missed my Saturday story but hope you had a fantastic birthday! From what I've seen in the comments, I think your pointing out the grusomeness of this execution with sounds of it curdled more than a few stomachs! It made me thankful that we don't think that such a thing as public execution is necessary anymore. Of course, the local newscast tells me that others think we do. I'll look at both of the other videos as anything you put out is worth watching! Please take care now! May God bless you and yours. 😊
Lovely seeing the doggos playing behind you at the end, Bruce. The reign of James VI certainly was consequential, uniting the Scottish and English crowns and starting the plantation of Ulster. It's hard to warm to many of these historical leaders when their methods were so damaging to common folk.
Execution. If your speaking about the Wigtown Martyrs, then Yes!!! Also, are you planning a Halloween in Scotland video for next month? Spent Halloween in Edinburgh in 2019 and it was the best! 💚
I’d like both eventually, but would like Background first, please. Thanks again for more learning Scottish history. And very glad I got to meet you, Bruce, in Vancouver, WA this past summer.
You mentioned the Proclaimers in one video. THANKS. I'm a contemporary of theirs but was, er, studying Greek and Latin in those days instead of watching MTV. Anyway-skipping a lot of narrative-I looked up their music and can't thank you enough.
Happy Birthday Bruce!!! Are you having fun? I love the touch that your doing a vid in Edinburgh. Im sure you know me enough Background your going to get to the execution anyway. If you have to make it a two vid. Hugs
I'm currently reading David Mitchell's Unruly. History with a splash of humour. Did he get inspiration from your videos, I wonder? Glad to see you back.
Hi Bruce! I'm a Scot-Canadian who lives in Nova Scotia. I love my motherland, but I prefer the vast wilderness of Canada. I love Pict/Scot history and you are a great presenter.
A'reyt Bruce. Background. I commented before that not all English are so keen to bow and scrape. My native Yorkshire has many Robin Hood place names. Our US cousins point to the Magna Carta, from that era as a confirmation that everyone is equal. Our ancestors accepted Scottish kings too, so long as they did not start overruling Parliament. Then it was execution time.
Apologies Bruce but I saw Celtic deliver a 3-0 execution of Rangers recently. Watching the Rangers analysts explaining their teams loss makes that the most brutal execution in Scottish history. Excellent video as always. Canadian fan of the channel.
Great video Bruce but next time I would say just make the sound effects quieter because it made it hard to hear you at times. But again overall great job
Well, not exactly what I was expecting for my breakfast entertainment/enlightenment! I kept wondering at what point the prisoner would have passed out from the pain. Anyway, background.
Very interesting presentation not for the ordinary casual viewer but great tale in particular that Scots tradition of minority rulers the background to the execution is a must to hear
I would have thought that with such a brutal execution there would be a good chance that the victim would die before they'd finished. In particular, if he were left out at night, there's the risk of hypothermia. Shock can also kill. The violence of the process makes it likely that a major vein or artery could be ruptured. Dare I say it, the fact that poor Walter Stuart survived so long suggests that he was in very good physical condition before they started killing him.
oh my gawsh!!! It BRUCE!!!! So great to see you holy crap this was intense. This brutal execution, more like torture and def for a show. This is timely for Halloweeny vibe...yikes!!! James the first background please. I like your jacket amigo. Holy shit all the minority monarchs:0 Honestly, I will watch whatever you upload. Your high quality story telling, including history as you know it happened is all I need. Thanks again for the lesson!!
Hey Bruce. I took another lotto ticket, I am determined to annoy yer one more time yet, and even buy ye a dram...don't git yer hopes up. It seems we humans, Scots and others, are never so happy as when making other folks miserable. We are no different even today. Aroha
Too late your decision is done, by the time I saw this, but the minority rule one after the other was of extreme interest to me and made me think of how it affected the country, great point. 👍
You forgot to mention the 'Warriston Horror' of 1600, when the young wife of the Laird of Warriston was beheaded on 'The Maiden', our predecessor of the Guillotine, her nurse was burnt alive at the same time, and the man who was paid to kill the Laird of Warriston was 'broken on the wheel', the first to be executed that way and NOT the last!
If your eyes were gouged out the day before, you wouldn't be seeing yourself being gutted. But that's just me being picky. I clicked on this to find out who and why.

Fascinating as always sir! Background please.
Hi Bruce. I’m the ignoramus that interrupted you mid phone call on Princess St a fortnight ago 😬. Loving your work 👍
I'm still on the phone
What videos? In the words of Monty Python's Mr Creosote, "I'll ave the lot". Story teller supreme, always fascinating and always learn something Thank you!
From my scottish/irish/Scandinavian heritage I'm into the background of the why and how things happen.
I admire your videos, which are both educational and entertaining. Only my lack of mobility prevents me from applying to join your eleven-day tour. Thank you. Were it to be possible, I should like to learn more about the background AND the execution, please
Just click the link
please tell us about the Covenanters! Great video!
New video! Reason enough to watch. But background, please.
Thanks Bruce!
Always a gem! Background for me!
I love learning about the background of events. It helps me understand how they came about. I learned some of this in college, but you are much more easy to understand than some university lecturers.
Background please.
I was the guy who saw you at the Parliament and briefly said hi.
I’m glad to see the video you were working on. Love your work.
Good to meet you, if only briefly and under the stress of completing the task
I've never come across you before but I'm impressed. Yours is a very entertaining and informative style. I like that you don't try to sugar-coat the horror and brutality of those times. So, for anyone who yearns for a return to the good old days, there weren't any!

I cannot believe even surviving the first day of that. It’s fascinating how Edinburgh was such a brutal place for so long in history and now … just lovely. How the times change. Your videos are amazing as always Bruce .
I like the story and background.👍🏴
Just received my second hoodie from your shop and I love it!! Yours is my favorite channel here on UA-cam. Have a great day
Background. And I agree with everyone else's nice comments. Your videos are great! Scotland is high on my list of places to visit. I'll get there eventually, but in the meantime, I get to watch your videos! Thanks!
"three day execution"
Excellent metal band name
Clicked on out of curiosity, really happy to find a very well presented video. Nice wk fella
Hi Bruce , nice to see you back after your break. A background episode would be great, thank you.
🤯background please Bruce amazing and hilarious too.
Loved the burns reference too’ see yon Burke that calls himself a lord’! Class act sir🏴👍

Definitely the BACKGROUND.

Bruce Thank you for another excellent and educational video. Background video plz.
Why you not on TV ☘️
Good to see you back. I missed you last week.
Edit : had a think about it = background.
BACKGROUND
I noticed the Australia pin, too. I bet we're only too glad to have you!
That's an eagle eye
Happy Birthday Bruce!!! Are you having fun? I love the touch that your doing a vid in Edinburgh. Im sure you know me enough Background your going to get to the execution anyway. If you have to make it a two vid. Hugs

Your videos are amazing and so informative and a rich amazing history that is Scotland
Good to see you big man👊🏼
Background and the execution, Im a greedy bugger. 😅
You also don't understand how either/or questions work😜

I love the way you explain all
I like the pin on your jacket mate.🏴🇦🇺👍
I clicked because I wanted a story by Bruce, so thanks! 💫 Always background.🔦🔎

Another engrossing story. I always look forward to your new releases.
Thank you kindly!
Background please Bruce. Thanks for another fascinating story.
Hi Bruce. I clicked because I wanted to see another of your history vids. Keep up the good work. Bye!
Apologies Bruce but I saw Celtic deliver a 3-0 execution of Rangers recently. Watching the Rangers analysts explaining their teams loss makes that the most brutal execution in Scottish history.

Thank you Bruce for another fascinating video background please
Great video Bruce but next time I would say just make the sound effects quieter because it made it hard to hear you at times. But again overall great job
I've known several people who've died over three days in Edinburgh. Mind you it was their first Fringe... Oh and BACKGROUND
Background please! So good to see ya!
Background. Well done Bruce. I should be hqving nightmares for the next 2 weeks.
Well, not exactly what I was expecting for my breakfast entertainment/enlightenment! I kept wondering at what point the prisoner would have passed out from the pain. Anyway, background.
Great video Bruce. Background would definitely help.
Hi Bruce hope your well, yet another fab video, I have to admit I’d never heard of this before , background please , and thank you for your time
Hooray! Brucester's back!
As unhelpful as this might be, I'd love both videos!

Background, please. Glad you're back this week.
great stuff, Bruce, some background please.
Where n why for me Bruce, so "background" please 😁 👍🏻 great video!
thank you!
I was watching for the 2 adorable pups swimming at the end of course! 😂 🐕🐕🦺
Great story… a bit gruesome though. 😮🤣
❤ you Brucey!
😘

😜
I played the video because you're an amazing storyteller.
Let's go down the rabbit hole of background. Or whatever you want as you're always informative and entertaining
And I enjoy your narrative of your history
Background! (I clicked because you're a great storyteller, but I'm glad you asked!)
im scottish and live in scotland so does tht mean my vote couts twice? background plz x
Everyone gets one vote I'm afraid
@@ScotlandHistoryTours Nope! The voting machines are RIGGED! 😜😁
Nah week past Friday when the mighty mighty pars beat the raith ❤😂coyp and thank you for the opportunity to watch/listen to a story 😂
Thanks!
Thank YOU
Background.
The explanation of the tale behind such an execution is more meaningful than the description of the act itself.
Excellent video! Background and Execution, please! Thanks.
Too late your decision is done, by the time I saw this, but the minority rule one after the other was of extreme interest to me and made me think of how it affected the country, great point. 👍
Background, please! (Excellent videa as always, thank you!!)
I know I am going to enjoy all of your videos before I even click on them!!!
Yay
Here’s an idea Bruce, how about the happiest story from Scotland ever?
Background, pls.
BOTH! How could it not be both? The title begins with "WHY" and segues to "GRUESOME"!
Who can pass up a bit of history with a gruesome twist?!
It can't be both because there's only one vlivk option at the end. You can go through the back catalogue to find both though
loved the execution description, it needed some better graphics though :)
Background.
Background please!!.....The description of that execution nearly made me lose my lunch.
Background, Bruce🐻👍
Background, please and thank you, Bruce.
I'm half Scottish ancestry . a great grandfather plus plus and a bit was tutor to James 6th ( 1st of England) Sir Peter Young
Background. Thank you!
Background. But why not link both.
Because I get one choice for end screen
Homo sapiens is not a very nice beast, is it, no matter how we think...
Background. These things have the most to teach us when they're in context.
You forgot to mention the 'Warriston Horror' of 1600, when the young wife of the Laird of Warriston was beheaded on 'The Maiden', our predecessor of the Guillotine, her nurse was burnt alive at the same time, and the man who was paid to kill the Laird of Warriston was 'broken on the wheel', the first to be executed that way and NOT the last!
wow!. And, the Academy Awards goes to...
If your eyes were gouged out the day before, you wouldn't be seeing yourself being gutted. But that's just me being picky. I clicked on this to find out who and why.
Dude, I clicked because you finally posted a video again 😅
Sorry, we had a family bereavement, which took up my time
@ScotlandHistoryTours no worries, mate. We all need a break! Was just saying I was excited to wake up to another vid. My condolences, btw
I’ll vote background! And also... the words description was horrible enough, I wasn’t expecting sound effects 😂😅
