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 of your from the US. So I've tried to give a bit of history, but some places of interest in Scotland as well.

these presentations are absolutely wonderful! And the quality is astounding. Bruce, you deserve complimentary cream scones anywhere you go in Scotland.
This is one of the best explanations of the three kingdoms civil war. I am English and southern to boot living in Scotland but as a excivil war renactor loved this and other videos put out. Grand job.
Yay! Thanks
Another great story. And I hope you continue to have a good day 🌞
Thank you! You too!
My Favourite Channel on UA-cam, Thank You Bruce. Bought those books through your links 👍📚
You by far are the only person who has been able to “Not Screw Up History” Thank You.!!!! Learning thru you on my Family.!!! You Speak Of Them Often. You Are My Outlet. Thank You Again
What marvellous videos! I have learnt more about my own country's history (England) as well as Scotland's. Your videos are absorbing but much more importantly, fun! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Mark
That was brilliant! congratulations on an informative, and amusing video. You should be on telly. Keep up the good work.
One day Pete. One day😎
You are a brilliant presenter! A perfect mixture of fact, humor and profound insight into your subject matter. Enjoying all of your videos. Cheers!
Thanks Jamie
Not to blow smoke up your back pipe but this is the best documentary film I've seen on this topic.
Explained clearly. Without agenda, good pacing.
Where is this like button!
Ah cheers
Good one Bruce!! Another convoluted and complex historical subject handled brilliantly. Thanks for this.
Neil Oliver disliked this video. Keep these fantastic works coming. I am sharing widely. Hope you dinnae mind.
Saor Alba 2021.
I WANT folk to share widely. That’s the point😎
Fantastic again, loved the bit about Charles and his bag of ferrets!
THANK YOU................... DES CREAN..BELFAST,, IRELAND
In the same way Jenni kicked it all off, we often say that Ferdinand began WW1 when he died in a car, they recently noticed the registration number on the car "A 11 11 18"
so you could say it started and finnished in the same place.
A very good video that explains a complex period of history in an accessible and witty manner.
Thank you, and may I say that I've heard the moles in your area are more nervous than most
@@ScotlandHistoryTours Word gets around.
excellent
When Covid is over do you do guided tours around certain places? I'm from Glasgow and it would be great having an Edinburgh tour with someone very knowledgeable like yourself about history.
Haha, it's because of COVID that I'm making videos. I was a tour guide and stand up comic until nobody wanted either. Hopefully we'll get back to it at some point
@@ScotlandHistoryTours when you do give us all a heads up.
Ok. I just watched this for the second time, trying to follow the tangled threads. I think I need a coffee too, before I try a third ‘listeno’. So to speak. Love your work
Spooky how I was JUST reading about this last night 🤓
Thanks once again! as always you deliver excellent videos and I'm happy to learn 🏴😊
👻💀
Always good value. Tyhank you.
Bloody brilliant Bruce. I thought I understood, but It's way more complicated than ever I imagined.
There's a lot we don't get with Neil Oliver lol, facts for example.
😄😁😆🤣😂
Mainly the truth.
It's time for your medication Mr Oliver
He is definitely off in a different world.
@@paulkirton8945oh look it's a wee ad hominem fallacious comment from wee Pauloboi 🤡😂
Exellent video,thank u
Thank you once again for another entertaining post work and(mtb trial building afternoon) bike oriented day of work...smh...yes work...the hatrick ..... Scottish history experience !
Some great proper LOL moments and entertaining script of UK history.
Thank you Sir, Chapeau.
The Scots are wild and precious!
I recently stumbled upon your channel & am hugely enjoying your history tours.
In this video, you mentioned in passing James's moving Presbyterians into Ireland, and said you didn't have time to elaborate on that history, but I'm wondering (& hoping!) you might be able to tell that story in another video someday?
Oh! And thanks for making me snort tea out of my nose with your explanation in French of trying to put three ferrets in the same sack. 🤣
If COVID restrictions don't prevent the trip I'm hoping to do something on this in February
Now my favourite video. Sandra Geddes.
Oooh, that's interesting. Why?
Great video, Bruce. I remember getting this story at school but not so interesting or entertaining. Our teacher, Mr Oliver, didn't know many facts. - Keith.
I'm sure he knew plenty of facts, ya pesky little rascal. It's matching the facts to a child's attention span that's the challenge😂
Your teacher wasn't Mr. Niel Oliver, was he?
😂🤣😂🏴
when i am in Scotland next year I would like to meet you
Another interesting video Bruce, keep them coming. If only we got taught this stuff in school. A book worth reading on the subject is, Zealots: How a Group of Scottish Conspirators Unleashed Half a Century of War in Britain by Oliver Thomson, if you haven't already done so.
Cheers
Thank you, Bruce. Very informative, as always. I had never heard of Jenny (sp?) Geddes. My husband says he was taught about her in primary school.
Every day is a school day eh?
Every kid of my generation knew of Jenny Geddes and her famous outburst. I assume Ms Sturgeon these days is more interested in gender and division than our history.
Hey Bruce, just bought my brother (who lives in Edinburgh) the book The Man Who Changed Everything....I'm sure he will love it....
Brilliant
Just started watching your video lots of history with them great listening
Welcome on board
Great explanation.. and also the King James Bible…( we always cock up ireland)
I'm Scottish and Irish. Catholic side Presbyterian interesting Christmas. I'm agnostic! I don't care! We all end up the same way ! Eventually.
True
I had a poster with Jenny Geddes on it when I was a teenager, it was next to the one of Che Guevara. She was one of my early heroines and the three legged stool I have always reminds me of her. Terrific video Bruce thank you and for the wee memory it provoked.
That's brilliant
Great story Bruce
Tremendous work. How about a talk on James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose and Alisdair Mac Colla and their campaigns?

1567* 😉🏴
Great as usual Bruce 👌
I am an American, my grandfather waa from Edinburgh and my grandmother was from Coatbridge. Thank you for these videos! I am an Anderson. James Cochrane.
Great to have you on board James. There are some other Scottish American connections on the channel and more to come
It may well have ended over there as you say, but word was slow in reaching the colonies. My ancestor, William Ayers, died at the Battle of the Severn (America, not Wales) on 25 March, 1655, at Herring Bay, Maryland. He was the standard bearer for the Protestants, and was struck down during the first volley. Descendants ever since have learned to duck.
Hi Bruce , check out Erskines Reg , we do civil war soldiers camp and pike and musket display + we have a small cannon , don’t know if we will be doing anything this year , but if you needed some background on that period you’d be welcome to come and do some filming , we do some redcoat and highlander stuff to .mostly Historic Scotland we do displays for , but with this COVID thing not much happening , always looking for new members !
Sounds interesting mate, though I'll be honest I don't think I could fit in another hobby and the outfitter probably doesn't need the challenge of my waistline😂😂😂
I enjoy your videos. You have basically filled in the blanks for me of John DeGraeme and Bonnie Dundee. Thank you
Aye your attitude to Bonnie Dundee would depend on your side
💖
The laugh !!! 🤣🤣🤣
Discovered your videos other day and loving them. Most certainly better than Neil Oliver.
Wi definitely be sharing with my American cousins.
Good lad James
I never knew that King James wasn't even born when Darnley died. This is really informative. I'd read that Darnley had been alive then. Just shows you can't trust what you read.
I think you were right originally. Wasn't James born in 1566 and Darnley assassinated in 1567?
I wonder if the children in Scotland and the children in England and Ireland are taught the real history of these events....As an adult I have learned that many historical events were somewhat 'altered' on many topics
I'd be suprised if the children in Scotland are taught them at all
America here. "Americans might get confused" no truer words😂
Also unrelated to this brilliant video Bruce. Watching the BBC tonight I spied the program Scotlands Sacred Islands with...........Ben Fucking posh boy Fogle? Wah deh Fuq?
It's not meant for Scots
@@ScotlandHistoryTours I didn't watch it lol.
I just purchased one of your Orange sweatshirts Do the other shirts come with a phonetic translation? Please forget my ignorance for not knowing exactly how to ask the question
Not sure about the colour, but I use the phrase at the end of each video for the sound
You should consider doing a video on Patrick Geddes.
John, To help with my poor administration I've set up an email requests@scotlandhistorytours.co.uk for folk who want to make topic suggestions
Hey Bruce brilliant watch.
I ask because I've not yet come across one but have you done an episode on the murder of darnly? Always been a topic that gets me wondering what did happen.
Thanks again. Steve
Hmmm, it's always difficult to decide if things have been done to death in other formats and what will get more interest. I'm always a bit worried about Mary Queen of Scots topics for that reason. I've done a few. Maybe I should do more
@@ScotlandHistoryTours i get what you mean maby it's just me personally I think it would be good to hear you cover about Mary and darnley episode of her life. So much happened in her life from beginning to end, its hard not to do multiple episodes on m.q.s. so many events that brought changes in scotland, that are linked to her or her son.. sorry, now that I'm mentioning K James his fear of witchcraft and the berwick trials. it would also be a cool episode.
Do you have any easy stories? Thank you for the video.
Its the Scotss, is anything easy with them? ;-)
Blimey, it seems the War of the Three Kingdoms was even more of a flustercuck than I had originally thought... And then one recalls that it happened within the greater context of the European wars of religion with regional wars in the Holy Roman Empire, the Low Countries, France, Denmark-Norway etc. etc. nominally over how to correctly worship the same imaginary friend, but really it was about power.
We humans are stupid.
I didnt know Scots started the English Civil war? wow thats some claim Brucie.
You don’t get that with Neil Oliver 🤣🤣🤣
Too right
Isn't it interesting that primates also throw stools when they're angry.
Bingo
@@ScotlandHistoryTours I know. Hardly original but I figured someone had to say it and that it was probably my turn! 😂
I rule by divine right ( and so does my wife - especially her)
😜
Well they never taught us this in the Sealed Knot, thanks for the enlightenment, or is that down to Charles the second?
Surely John Knox😁
Don't you mean John Locke?
What does that say on your sweatshirt? Is it Gaelic? What does that mean in English?
You'll get the translation on the product pages for the T-shirts, mugs and sweatshirts in my shop. See what I did there?😜 www.scotlandhistorytours.co.uk/shop
Proto revolutionaries, these Bishop bashers.
I caught that! LoL
The moral of the story is...Don't make a Scottish woman mad!!!!
Especially my missus
3 ferrits and one bag 😂😂🏴🏴
thanks Bruce for your video on the destruction of Dundee by General Monk.
How about a modern mystery, the killing of Willie McRae.
Or where is the real Stone of Destiny. I don't think it's that lump of sandstone.
The Willie McRae thing I did think about, though I worried that it had been covered before
@@ScotlandHistoryTours I know but I'd love to see you're take on it. i'm James btw. I really like your videos.
This is the second time you've covered a part of history that involved a church brawl 😂😂😂😂
Aye, there was no shortage of them
@@ScotlandHistoryTours aye, they're a' on the fitba' terraces now🤪🥴😜
Jenny Geddes ehh..what the hell did you start
Yikes.
Cannot get enough of your channel.
The secret is to try heroin. Suddenly you'll have higher priorities 🤣
... and of course, the English returned the compliment by starting the '45
Hmmmmm 🙄
DO IT AGAIN! LOL, JUST KIDDING!
Monty python made a good song about this.
Religion man, what a sore head it gives me! Good video Bruce
Religion was only the mask which hid the visage of evil men behind.
@@ScotlandHistoryTours That's correct, how many bigots can be called christians, and how many actually step inside any place of worship
So, in 1603 Scotland conquered England yes?
no it was a union of crowns. They remained separate countries
I knew "Jenny" was a powerful name!
😁😁😁
Just found out that Jenny Geddes is my wife's 9 times great granny...or something
Mind your head from flying stools
@@ScotlandHistoryTours 🤣🤣 closest thing I had to dodge was a walls vienetta
I posted this on Scottish History Police FB page. The comment left was ‘History for idiots with an anti Scottish slant. As a pro Scottish independence believer and a history lover, a person who believes in sharing knowledge, laughter and debate, I’m now ashamed of being an idiot. Oh well, will have to try to get over it☹️🤣
😄😆Well I've been called an idiot loads, and the videos are definitely intended to break things down to be simple and entertaining. What irks me is anti Scottish. I did quite a bit of door knocking in 2014 myself and I'd be interested to know which bit of me is anti Scottish.
@@ScotlandHistoryTours feel free to check out my reply to him. Looking forward to his reasoning. Maybe he’s an Oliver fan🤣
I just watched that again and, ye ken this, it's better than I thought. An idiot COULD understand it. For the life of me I. just can't see the anyi Scottish bit though
@@ScotlandHistoryTours Because it isnae. Personally, I think he’s a history snob who doesn’t like the great unwashed improving their knowledge as it knocks his superiority complex. I believe in sharing knowledge which is why I share your work whether I agree with it , or dislike it, because the more who are interested, the greater the debate. Especially when we talk about politics. Please note how polite I was and didn’t call him any rude names😊
@@ScotlandHistoryTours are these videos only for pro independence supporters?surely all history should viewed objectively, any history being used to promote any political ideology is tarnished and should be left to fade into obscurity?
Did Scotland under King James 6th take over England???
Do you want the tongue in cheek answer?😎
Simple proposal to hav ended that religious tempest: practice the same religion that Jesus did - Judaism.
Hold on, was he no a Jedi?
