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 an elder ginger (though now mostly white) haired American who has visited many major cities around the world. Glasgow is my favorite city. What I enjoy is that Glaswegians actually speak to visitors and are interested in other people. I met a cab driver who told me all about his granny who had moved to the Stares and was then the oldest resident of Boston, Massachusetts. I must look like a local because visitors will ask me for directions, which I sometimes know. A wonderful place.
Happy Birthday to Glasgow. 850 years old this year.
Good morning Bruce from Jamaica. The burial by the Molindiner was one of the stories of Mungo that I was taught at primary school in Glasgow in the 1940s.We were also taught about the coat of arms and the rhyme about the symbols. I have heard that it is no longer taught in schools My grandad and other family members lived for 60 years in the building that carries the St Mungo mural. And many buried in St, Kentigern cemetary. It makes me feel connected .
Goid morning. UA-cam always has Bruce front and center on Saturday mornings. Thank you Sir for another great video.
Brilliant
A'reyt Bruce. A little bird told me there was something fishy with that story, but it rings a bell.
A'reyt. Are you sure it's fish, it smelled more cheesey to me😜
@@ScotlandHistoryTours 'Appen Wensleydale? Good on Christmas cake.

Lived in Glasgow a few years now, never knew any of this, very well done
Brilliant
Thanks for all your research, work and humour Bruce!
I remember the rhyme, my dad was born in Govan and recited it most times we went to Glasgow.
Thanks for another great bit of story telling Bruce.
Great story. Thank you Brucey! 💙
First King Lot put Tannis in a cart and rolled her down a hill, crashing into a large boulder and smashing into pieces. She was left untouched, and St Katherines spring in Shotts emerged from under her. Throwing her into the firth was second. Mungo built his mom a home called tannochside, and the gate into town from the west was called Tanney's gate. Tannis' younger brother, sir Gowain, was King Arthur's top Knight and has the most tales in the Aurtorian collections.
Great stuff, thanks for getting me started.
Thanks Bruce great video Glasgow at last
You’ve got rather good at this story telling Bruce. Please don’t stop - I’ve become addicted 🌞
Ahh ❤ the mural of Thenue in Calton is my favourite one, she’s just beautiful 😍
Thanks for making this video Bruse
i always thought St Enoch centre was named for Nohas Grandad !. Cheers Brucie boy, Saturday is always a schooldays.
According to Allison Galbraith's: Lanarkshire Folk Tales, it was Fergus of Kearnach (near St Ninians in Stirling) who had a Holy vision and waited for Mungo to swing by before snuffing it, leaving instructions to cart his body westwards into the badlands. They met 2 Christian monks (Telleyr & Anguan) who told them that he couldn't bury Fergus by the Molandear as it was a Druidic grove, but he did it anyway. And supposedly 'did away' with anyone who tried to practice the Old Religion there.
Oh, and the chap that Queen Languoreth (Merlin's sister) had a fling with and gave her ring to, was the Laird o' Lee.
Must be Saturday morning. Brilliant. Thank you Mr Fummey. 🖤
Good to see the Antonine wall at Camelon/Tamfourhill. We used to play there as bairns and it only seems unreal now that we were arsing about in an ancient Roman fortification!
True
Just watching some of your older videos and this popped up, good timing!
That's what we want😎
Yer story telling jist gets better and better, Bruce, anithir stoattir, cheers.
Hello Bruce thank you for sharing very interesting story. My granny on my mother’s side was born in Glasgow
Thanks
Thank YOU so much
Fantastic! I moved to Glasgow from Dundee a couple of years ago and have always wondered where the phrase "Let Glasgow flourish" came from and why there is a fish on the citys coat of arms! When I think of Glasgow's history I think it as the city of empire etc. What a fantastic pre union..pre Scotland history the city has!
I always assumed the fish was from the Clyde the most important part of the city. Without it Glasgow never would have been what it is now
Love your wee videos, I really would have loved this type of Scottish history at school. Maybe I would have stayed at school instead of well you know just not going. I re-tell your stories to my grandkids they sit eyes wide open ingrossed in your facts. Thank you for sharing take care.
Brilliant
The Folklore Scotland website gives a version of the dying man who was buried at the spot that became Glasgow. The sources they give for their info on St. Mungo are :- Jennifer Westwood and Sophia Kingshill 'The Lore of Scotland: A guide to Scottish legends' (2009), and Allison Galbraith 'Lanarkshire Folk Tales' (2021). Hopefully this jogs a memory for ya Brucey.😁
Very interesting! Your memory and recall of names, dates, and places is amazing!
Thank you very much!
Madainn mhath! (hope thats right!) Awesome as usual Mr. Fummey! I'm just facinated with that period of British history from about 300 to 800. That 500-year period is just frustratingly so very cool. My first intro was Robert Graves rendering of the Gododdin and The Quest for Merlin by Nikolai Tolstoy. That brief glimpse into that very fascinating North British Heroic Age hooked me.
Hola😜
Always eager to watch your video and doubly happy its about my home city this week. Thanks Bruce
Brilliant
Thank you very much.
By the grace of God, I was born in Glasgow (thanks, God) but I'd never heard the half of this history until now. For one thing, I had no idea that St. Enoch was a woman!
Great episode, Bruce. Cheers!
My grandmother, Nana, was a girl from County Clare who married a Northumbrian man who ran a shipyard on the Tyne that she took over when he died during WW1. She joked that the best thing out of Scotland was the road, but she loved the Glaswegians, probably due to her contacts there through shipbuilding. When I visit Scotland I always stay in or near Glasgow which I love, can not abide Edinburgh, full of entitled nobodies who like Londoners think the country owes them a living.
But the real question. The noble Celtics or the vile Rangers?
My primary school in Airdrie is called Saint Serfs
My Mum spent 9 years of her childhood in Glasgow, I bet she knew that rhyme too.
I'm sure
Great story, Bruce. Pity you weren't my history teacher at school; I would have learned something! Tioraidh an dràsta.
Great Job, thanks
Thanks for watching!
The story of Mungo and his funeral cart may have come from the book "Druid Sacrifice" by Nigel Tranter. Who was a brilliant story teller. Not sure where he got the story from - he may have used a bit of 'poetic licence'. Either way it's still worth a read.
That was very informative, thanks Bruce. I heard of St Kentigern, but did not know about St Enoch.
Was the market on Thursdays, in the new borough of Glasgow, called the Barras?
Don't know this man, but fucking love him
Can we name check Limekilns in Fife as where you started your video? A pretty wee place in its own right.
Excellent summary of early medieval Britain.
Traquair also very pretty and worth a visit.
Check any names you want my friend😜
Like your videos, keep them coming?
Thanks, will do!
Aye Bruce. A great story of kings, princesses and priests. Their real personas are lost to time, but we have their legends, and that's enough, perhaps...well if ye must top me up once more...
😜
magic story!
Surprised you didn't show the St Mungo up off High Street.
Have you seen the mural of Thenue in Calton? it’s beautiful, my favourite one ❤
It’s certainly true that many Glaswegians like myself of a certain vintage know the rhyme, but equally not many will know the full story unless they were lucky in the teachers they had of watch this excellent video. I wonder if children these days are taught about how my home city came to be? As always thanks 🙏 for your sharing of the knowledge.
A pleasure
Trap-rain law. Not taripan... ? Lived across from it for yonks.
I always thought Mungo was a nickname (my first reference to a Mungo is Mungo Park of Musselburgh; one of the first pro golfers). The things I learn. I need to get to Scotland....
Presumably he was named after Mungo Park, the 1790s Scottish explorer?
You do
Hi Bruce. I have often thought about visiting Glasgow. I nearly did a few years ago to visit an old army buddy, but he succumbed to cance. My only concern these days is accessibility. Can you please tell me how I can research the sites that maybe available to me? I am considering hiring your talents for a day as I did in Ayr.
If you're meaning accessibility I'm guessing that most modern tourist attractions will have that. I'm guessing websites will confirm. Look at the hop on hop off bus routes for an indicator of some of the groovy places to visit
@ScotlandHistoryTours Thanks, I'll follow that up.
Have ye read Finding Merlin, by Adam Ardrey, Bruce ? Makes some interesting points.
Nae mention of Dunbar swimming pool car park, however 😄
If it disnae mention the car park it must be pish
@ScotlandHistoryTours 😄 🤣 😂
I read that story in one of Alistair moffets books I'm pretty sure
Bruce, whats the suv you are driving? Ita nice. Kia?
Another school day for me (and "like" emoji duly clicked) but, naughty boy, Bruce! Not saying it out loud but suggesting in the subtitles that the name of the Queen of Alt Clut was something else that rhymes with dagger! ☺
🤣That was in originally, but we took it out in the editing. I just forgot to edit the subtitles. Well spotted. Now it's changed
@@ScotlandHistoryTours 😄 (I thought that was the case)
Another fantastic video Bruce.
Anyway - now that we know all about Mungo, how about Mary and Midge? (If you know, you know 😉) 😂😂😂
😜That takes me back
@@ScotlandHistoryTours - Absolutely. Childhood memories 😉
Aye and they've got Triffid cones for Horses. Looks like they're up to their necks in them!
I was hoping the princess was going to be St Sauchie! Which begs the question what or where was Sauchiehall?
The sauchie haugh or willow meadow from which the street derives its name was probably a low-lying area
This is a comment for the Algo boost!
Guid lad
Somebody pass this on to GCC because those muppets dont have a clue about the history of the "High street" and thats why theve turned it in to a total embarrassment!
Aye and Labour were a ray of sunshine when they were in charge.Put the country in debt to £32billion with ppi,and JackieBaillie paying out £2.5 milli to lawyers so that woman wouldn’t have equal pay.Reading too many colonial papers.
Thank you . ❤ .
You're welcome 😊
So, if it hadn't been the Nordic's, sailing out of Dublin, sacking Alt Clut / Dumbarton Rock / Dumbarton Castle, driving things fifteen miles eastwards to what became Glasgae, Dumbarton would now be on everybody's map?
Which, if you look at its location, history (crannogs, river Leven, capital of Strathclyde, glass making, building the Cutty Sark, Denny's, Flying Boats, experimental hovercraft, Westclox, Ballentine's whisky) and its glorious surroundings it should be, rather than the scruff hole-it has been for the last seventy years...
💙Love the video!🫵😎👍
💙Love "The Kingdom!"🏴
💙Love Culross...
(🤭Had many a pint at The Red Lion!)🍻😂👍
... but "Glasgow's miles better!"☺️👍
13:02 You missed one mural (In the Calton)... ua-cam.com/video/Jull_2PwPvI/v-deo.html St Mungo's mum was called St Thenue, as well as St Enoch.
...Ah, you did go on to mention St Enoch, to your credit. 😀...you still missed the Mural though. 😉
First video watched in a wee while and as always great one. Have to go back for a catch up 😂
Welcome back! Now get your homework done laddie😜
cuntais an-eolach ar an stair seo. Bruce. You should maybe write a book, brother. 🤔 Great history channel this is. Glasgow is a amazing City.. 💯👍
well, who doesn't love miracles?
Indeed
Every person in Scotland today must surely acknowledge that John Knox formed the Scotland we know today. To all Scots, Catholic or Protestant, everyone christians. Emperor Consntantine or John Knox , the lord Jesus is our saviour. One word is true..the word of the new testemont.
Ach, ye missed yer chance tae spread the wird: Haughmagandy 😅😅😂
Great video x
What's with the 13 dislikes...?~?~?
Your Brythonic/ Cymraeg pronunciation would benefit from understanding how ‘u’ is pronounced in Welsh… it’s basically ‘ugh’ and you have to stick your tongue out when you say it .! Also LL is pronounced by blowing air though the side of your mouth…Allt Clud ( the hill of the Clyde) sounds a lot better this way. Rhydderch Haul ( haul means generous/ giving) of Glas Gae (the Blue Field) is a common ancestor to us too. Diolch yn fawr …diddorol iawn 👍🏴
