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.

"Nursing her wrath to keep it warm", who doesn't know someone like that, male or female? Cracking performance.
Well done Bruce, that was fantastic! I really enjoyed the presentation and production. It's a great way to introduce the poetry of Burns and the Scots language, especially to kids. Great work.
Thank you kindly!
Aahhhh that was bloody brilliant.....cheers 🥃🏴
I'm no spring chicken but that's the best Tam O'Shanter I've ever heard. Well done!
After 300+ years of my family being in America, I am only able to pick out maybe 1 in 10 words. My midwestern ears just cannot cope, much to my shame and sadness. I envy your accent. Well done.
There are translations in English that can help you understand Burns poetry.
Good morning! Since I was a little girl, I've always liked popular tales, legends and much more the history of a people or a nation.I have never been to Scotland, but to England. Going to Scotland is a dream that remains to come true. I was also born in the highlands, but in Portugal.In the villages, in the woods and mountains, this is where stories and popular tales are created. Keep up with your channel and it's very instructive. Have a nice weekend.
Ah thanks
I loved it, that's 1 I will watch again for sure!!! That's how it was mean to be recited. That was Awesome! Just in time for Burns night too!!🏴
Aye I've been waiting a year to release it😂
"But pleasures are like poppies spread ..." &c. has always been my favourite part of the poem. So beautiful and descriptive.
So true!
Seconded....
This was excellent Bruce.
Thanks
Wow! As many other have said "fantastic!" Gonna watch it again. Tam dancing with Cutty in the dark is epic.
Absolutely fantastic. That is without doubt the best rendition ever. A massive well done!!!
Ah yes,but the YT subtitles couldn't keep up! 😅
From a man who celebrates his birthday on Wednesday, I always felt a conection to the great man, his life and works have provided life long inspiration to this old sax player.
My husband celebrates his birthday on Wednesday too - it's why he is called Robert. Ironically, we are both English but live in Scotland and have done for over 30 years.
A brilliant rendition, by the way.
Thanks
Bruce you have brought the Tam O'Shanter poem to life. You are amazingly talented and have a great way of expressing emotions through the way you recite the poet. You don't just recite the poem but take part in reading as you are Tam O'Shanter and make the poem like a mini play.👏👏👏👏👏🏆💯
Ah, you're too kind
11/10, highly recommend!
Loved this delivery, Bruce and crew!
brilliant bruce sir, thank you for showing the masses our culture, history, and art.
Oh yes; brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!! Loving it.
Stoating stuff sir loved it. The well where Mungos mither hung hersel is still there close to the Kirk for those brave enough to go through the old railway tunnel.
👻
Really excellent Bruce, brings this gem to life.
Brilliant! Thank you Bruce and crew. Love this 👍♥️
Our pleasure!
One of my favorite Robbie Burns poems, only surpassed by Scots Whae Hae. A wonderful presentation of it, it just came to life.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉well done Bruce , man of many talents
I love this guys work. He brings history alive and makes it somehow more colourful and interesting. Kudos.
Although I have heard this before...this telling was the best. Absolutely stunning!! ❤
Wow, thank you!
Love this style of video! I would watch other poems or speeches recounted by you and your colleagues
Always one of my favourite poems. My mother had many epics committed to memory which she would recite rather than read bedtime stories.
Tam O'Shanter is full of classic lines.
Thank you Bruce that was great
Brilliant
I love to read this poem and to hear it recited. This is as good as it gets - thank you! 🌹
This was not what I was expecting but I am 100% here for it
My favourite ever poem superbly delivered. Anither humdinger Bruce!
You're too kind Alasdair
This is amazing, we have to make sure Scottish tradition is forever passed down the generations.
The alert for this one woke me up, Bruce! Watched it straight through. Love ya, man! (BTW, the accent and stories are quite heart-warming for me, as you don't hear that kind of thing much, here in the States...for me, since my grandmother passed).
I'm delighted
Excellent recital and video Bruce, cheers for that👍
Glad you enjoyed it
The Immortal Memory Bruce .Slainte .🥃
Brilliant performance of the tale and with relevant scenic places.
Thanks Bruce ,
Shanter had too much to drink ,
That’s the moral of the story
you’d think .
Whilst he thought he was riding his mare
In actual fact … it was the pub flair .
Twists and turns
resulted in terrible burns
And left his legs with no hair .
All the crap around the grave
Was just some youngsters
having a rave
He tried to get over the watter ,
To get away from Burns’s patter .
At the end of the day Bruce ,
Words get better on the Juice .
It really doesn’t matter
I,ll drink to that....slainte....
Wonderful Bruce, just such a great telling to bring the poem to life.
You are such a fantastic story teller and tutor brilliantly presented thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
🇺🇲🏴🇺🇲🏴 that was beautiful Bruce! What a great way to begin a glorious Saturday! Good morning from America!
Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely superbious Bruce lad.
That was incredibly well done Bruce and ensemble.
This is a wonderful recitation and the visuals really add to the fun. That's a fine mount you ha' there, Tam.
Excellent!!!! Thank you Bruce!
You're welcome Alan
That was brilliant Bruce! The best recital I have seen. Well done!
Wow, thank you!
Excellently done. Racontuer of note Bruce. Ye`ve done the Bard proud.
Absolutely brilliant! 😁👍
Fabulous Bruce! You transported me back to school, and back to early morning wary skirmishes with the shadows of Alloway Auld Kirk after a few imbibements at the Brig o'Doon! The best way to celebrate our nations Bard is to speak his words aloud and sing his songs with all your heart. Well done for celebrating his life and works with such swagger. He would love the bicycle! My eldest son shares his illustrious birth date and it's a big celebration in my family.
That was so good. Found myself quoting bits of it along with you. In my teens I played 'Cutty Sark' in a school production.
Powerful stuff....
Loved it ,my hometown off Ayr ,Robert Burns ,the bard,you sir have a subscriber for life ,you are a great story teller ,and a great historian,thank you for what you do,god bless from the USA,,ps love the shanter bar,🏴
Brilliant
Brilliant. Setting scene was excellent

Oh, my!
THAT was awesome! Very well done!
Thank you very much!
Man, I loved this. It was really cool. Thank you. Give us more Bruce.
Thanks! Will do!
Lift a glass in salutations of this presentation . Well Done
Thank you! Cheers!
The transition at the end of her speech, were she disappears was me make a huge woosh of relief. Every man whos a been a husband felt that shit to the bone. Seriously my head feel low on its own and i started to look at the ground, when she began.
Lol great job guys, also dont let our wifes know please.
🤣
I'll always remember Robert Burns and Robert Riddell and the silver whistle
Aye good story
@@ScotlandHistoryTours Now I want to know where's that whistle!
Excellent Bruce! Thank you.
Very welcome
This is brilliant! I'm sharing to all my friends for Burns Night. Hopefully, we can get enough interest in what you do to get you over here in the States.
Please do!
Just what the doctor ordered
Ta muchly, Bruce!
🏴 🦄 🏴
Imagine...poetry on prescription....actually as a 44 year NHS staffer.....not a bad thing....
@@eamonnclabby7067 As the mother of a young NHS nurse, I agree 😊
39 esk street Longtown used to be a pub and Robert burns scratched the poem in to the cellar door called Johnny peep so they say .
Brilliant! And thank goodness for closed captioning.
I was privileged to attend a wedding there ,we all had our kilts ,a group of tourists from the Basque Country who were wearing their traditional costumes, a lovely day.
This was really engaging and I found myself leaning closer to my computer to take it in, the part with the lady was lovely too.
Brilliant
Absolutely fantastic! I'm living in Ayr currently and bummed I didn't see you and Eric in Tams! Looking forward to seeing you in Edinburgh next week 😀
Yay!
@@ScotlandHistoryTours any chance of a trip to the wirral....?....
@@eamonnclabby7067 Southport maybe. Formby yes. That Lancashire coast is our version of Ayr for sure. Golfers paradise. Pubs here are awful I'm sorry to say. No atmosphere like in Ayr.
I even pulled out my old tattered copy that I keep in my old busted Tam O' Shanter pitcher (it survived a house fire 130 years or so ago) and did my best to folow along. What a ride. Thanks
Brilliant
Beautiful.
great stuff Bruce. Attended the 581 supper last night. A fantastic night as always. Jock Wilson gave us Tam O Shanter . 1st class
The background is wonderful. This is great to watch. Love it❤️❤️
Thanks so much 😊
I really loved this rendition. We have done a Robert Burns dinner every year as part of the Utah Scottish Association. I needed the captions, but they helped me understand the Scots. I really enjoyed it. Thank You.
Wonderful!
Tartan Viking cameo! 🙌🏼
You tell the tale very well! I’ve been working hard to unravel my matrilineal line and kismet helped me discover my 3rd great grandmother Annie Walker was from Kirkoswald (her father was the gas maker for Culzean Castle and they lived at Hollowsport) and Souter Johnnie was my 6th great grandfather. I believe that Robert Burns was my 4th cousin 8 times removed through his mother. I have so many connection I am hoping to find relatives that are still in Scotland. I love learning from your videos. Thank you!
Excellent! Thank you.
You're welcome
Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
So glad!
Robbie would of loved this, I know. 10/10
This is my favourite poem, it reminds me of my Papa.
🥰
I thoroughly enjoyed that best I have heard in all my years, thank you so much.
Wow, thank you!
A'reyt Bruce. My Yorkshire dialect picks up half of this, but I found myself thinking in German in parts. Not so much "Och, aye" as "Ach, ja". I now have an earworm from a song that contains "nächtliche Schatten", but it's not something Tam did when he saw the witches, just shadows in the night.

Love the line "Gathering her brows like gathering storm, nursing her wrath to keep it warm." Wonderful reading & Production.
That's my favourite part too.
My favourite line.
@@lauraketteridge324 it's all good...but good to know...thanks for sharing...
Most excellent Bruce! I thoroughly enjoyed this!❤️🏴
So glad!
Happy Rabbie Burns night. I saved this wee beauty for this evening. Slàinte Mhath . 🍻
Fantastic Bruce! Really enjoyed that. Poor Meg!
Many thanks!
Thanks again for another interesting, extremely entertaining and well put together piece of content. Your research ,delivery and likable personality make all your videos enjoyable! I've said it before and I'll say it again Sir! You should have your own Historical TV program! ( And I remember your reply to the idea. lol ). I mean if Mary Beard can do it!!
I can't remember my reply, but I won't hold my breath for somebody to make the offer
@Scotland History Tours You said you would only mess it up by saying "SH#T" or something! Something that if Mary Beard had done maybe she would still be on the telly!
Wonderful production of one of my favorite pieces from Burns
Many thanks!
What a fantastic story teller you are my good sir. Keep it coming.
Thanks, will do!
Totally agree....
What a treat that was Bruce!!...absolutely love your work...'lang may yer lum reek' my friend..
Thank you kindly
I had to watch this again - it's just too good for a single view!
😘
AMAZING BRUCE
Excellent Bruce and loved that rendition
That reply you gave number 10 👏👏👏👏👏👏bravo you can thank Maximilian Robespierre's he showed it on his livestream Bruce made me chuckle big time saor alba from albaforina check in but canny leave 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🏴🏴
Brilliant
The poetry and the wording beyond me mate...Gaelic on my fathers side and Norwegian on my mothers make noooo sense at all so i'll take it all in, shrug me shoulders and cry out...I'm just a bloody American. Thank you just the same.
This was great! Thank you. 👌
You're so welcome!
Thank you for this and all your videos, Bruce 🤗🤗🌿🌿🍀🔥💃🔥🍀🌳 It was so beautifully delivered and filmed and planned and edited 🤗🤗🌿💃🔥🔥💃💃🌿🍀🌳
You are very welcome
This was GREAT !!! I was riveted !!!
Thanks - that was excellent
Huge thanks Andy
Oh please tell me you did that in one take , well done Bruce
You'll see it performed live by myself and many others in one take over the next week or so
@@ScotlandHistoryTours that will be worth the wait....
Nicely done. Gripping. Incidentally they tell me you knocked back a knighthood! Well done you.
🤣I think that’s grown arms and legs
@@ScotlandHistoryTours Mebbe missed a chance there,bud. Anyway, onwards and upwards and never mind the spilt milk.
This was well done! I stumbled across this while listening to different versions. I am a yank who memorized this years ago and start brushing it up for the requests to recite for dinner season. This whole production was quite enjoyable.
Thank you sir
Bruce, that was brilliant 🌞
Ah thanks Ray
That was right beautiful
Love it Bruce gets me in the mood for some Haggis and a wee Dram of Whisky
Yay
@Scotland History Tours problem was it was before 10am here
The best rendition of this masterpiece.
