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 one of Scotland history tour guides people ask: Help me plan a Scottish holiday, or help me plan a Scottish vacation of your from the US. So from April 2020 I've tried to give a bit of history, but some places of interest in Scotland as well.
Here are three ways you can help me make more video productions. Just click the link www.scotlandhistorytours.co.uk/support
Love your video's Bruce. Ok, since you have taken the liberty to mention cream scones in so many of your video's. Question: Where do you think are the best Cream Scones in Scotland?? Maybe thats history too.
Every time you say, “Let me tell you a story…” I smile and give you my undivided attention. Great channel!
😎
I don't know what algorithm sorcery got me here, but I'm glad it did. Your channel is a breath of fresh air.
I am a Graham, and I share you to my son and family. You've become a Graham favourite!
Lord Cumberland stayed the night at my family's Castle (Glamis) en route to Inverness (Culloden Moor). As we had lost one of our finest young men at Sheriffmuir in The '15 and we remained Jacobite when the army and Lord Cumberland moved on the bed he slept in was carried outside and burned.
I’m so glad you mentioned “The Rout of Moy”! At Moy Hall along the loch, they have the anvil used to make noise with. The McIntosh’s are proud of this contribution to Jacobite history.
Having travelled the route from Stirling to Nairn, via Inverness, on hundreds of occasions since the early 60's. I was fascinated to hear of the Rout of Moy. On my next trip north, I will be looking for pinecones and fat squirrels. Another superb video Bruce. Thanks again Steve 😁❤🏴
Although I am english I love these videos.
I like you have travelled the route many times and even stayed in Dunblane and Dunkeld.
I also knew nothing of the rout of Moy.
'this is proper old!'. that was the most endearing delivery ever! loved that authentic reaction!!
keep up the great work!
really enjoyed bumping into you and your partner that one day at the petrol station while out on my motorbike and asking you if you knew anything about the history of Scotland :0)
This guy is making me piss masel laughing. While still teaching me so much about my countrys history. 🏴
I live in Virginia USA, and I just love your humor and wit , your knowledge about your beautiful country I find so helpful with me wanting to know EVERYTHING about Scotland ! I’ve always wanted to come see Scotland but I’m not able to because of my health. I just so much enjoy all your tours and I thank you so very much !
We are planning a trip back home to Scotland from Christchurch NZ ,The Jacobite Road will be on our List ,Thank Bruce.
Wonderful!
I've been to the Clan Donnachaidh Centre!!! We stopped for a toilet and lunch break and was surprised (or, I was) to see it!!!!! The center is small, but I was so excited to find it as my Scottish ancestry is Duncan and Reid.
As a decedent of many Jacobites, I thank you so much for making this.
Another Jacobite story tomorrow
Easy "The rout of moy followed the fat Squirrels"-What a beautiful day it was cheers Bruce 😇
I've wanted to see my ancestral country for so long and one day, I will. But for now, Bruce, you make me feel like I'm there! Your historical knowledge teaches me more and more everyday. Maybe you can be my guide when my day comes...i hope!
I'll go and tidy the car right now😁
Love the area. It is no wonder that many people from Scotland made homes in the Adirondack mountains in NY state. I see so many similarities between the highlands and the Adirondacks.
Used too stay at Nuide Farm B&B for family holidays between Newtonmore and Kingussie, very fond memories of the Highlands.
Must return one day, been to long.
Loved it, didn’t know about the Rout of Moy, fabulous Bruce.
Every day's a school day 😎 It's always great to hear that somebody's learned something new. That gives me a buzz. I used to be a teacher y'ken
That route of Moy could have been written for a monty python sketch, great stuff.
@@ScotlandHistoryTours - Brilliant! I didn’t know about “The Rout,” either!?! And I have a History degree (just not on Scots History!?! 😅). Excellent work as always, Professor! 🤙🏼🥃
“Every man for himself!” SERIOUSLY???? Hadn’t heard THAT either. Guess that’s why he fled dressed as a woman... 😢
I was thinking what a lovely bicycle trail that might be. Then that was punctuated by that lady riding a bicycle right behind you :-)
When working in Dunkeld back in 82' I visited the tourist Information office and learnt about the Jacobite do of 1789.Have been interested in the uprising's ever since.

Love this channel, I wish I had a teacher like Bruce when I was younger......better late than never.. THANK YOU SIR
You are very welcome
As a lover of history I’d just like to say that you’ve been a real TH-cam find for me. Your tongue in cheek style is refreshing and your detail in storytelling a welcome change from that of the vertically challenged no voter the BBC keeps employing. Yes I’m biased and unashamed. Keep it up Bruce you’re a star!
Ciamar a that sibh, a Bhuis! Ok, that is all that Gaelic I'm adding here. My wife and I had planned a road trip to Scotland for last May 😲. We still plan to come visit, explaining the Gaelic (yes, I know there are no monglot Gaels, and only 1% of the population have the Gàidhlig). It was nice to see that I had mapped almost exactly the same road from Edinburgh to Inverness you talk about here. We had a side trip to Aberfeldy.
I greatly appreciate your channel, presentation style and subject matter.
Le dùrachan gu Canada,
Paul
Profound.
my fav guide to scottish history and he looks like big Jimmy Brown fae aucktershuggle lol
Brilliant again - thanks - what a memory you have for facts and information. You should be on prime time TV.
These are the best videos on Scotland I've seen. My Grandad was born in Dunoon, then they emigrated to NY in the late 1920's. My daughter goes to visit family in Scotland (did an internship in Ireland and MUCH preferred Scotland as a friendlier place). I however cannot fly and these videos give me a way to travel without leaving home. Thank you ❤️
I got quite emotional reading this. I'm so chuffed to bring Scotland to folk outside. Thank you for taking the time to drop a word.
@@ScotlandHistoryTours I broke my back years ago and due to the many spine surgeries, I can't fly.... It was my dream from the time I was a little girl, to go see where my family hailed from. I learned the pipes as a teen (not usual for a girl- according to the old Scot who taught me 😉) I've been an avid Highland Games goer all my life and my house is filled with pictures, books and trinkets from Scotland that either my grandparents brought or was sent from family, over the years. I travel there vicariously, so I mean it when I say, THANK YOU. These are truly amazing and awesome videos!
House of Bruar... Posh nosh and trinkets but we all know it as best toilet stop around, almost feels like a 4ply wipe!
Great video, thanks Bruce!
I was once there at the end of the day and say through to the ladies as they were cleaning them. I wanted to live there, they were so plush
You're a braw lad Bruce, I'm a patron now. 🏴
I know, you're a TOP patron, and I'll be dropping you a line when I finish my porridge
I press like straight away as I know it will be good
The places you have given us to do day trips thank you
You're a
Good job mang, I appreciate you telling the story of muh people. That was smack dab in the heart of my history. Im a Reid of the clan from Canada.
Thank you so mich!
Two armies unintentionally fighting a big battle, so much like Gettysburgh
Would love you to do a piece on Govan Glasgow. 🏴🏴🏴
Inigo Montoya once said something about PINE CONES and ACORNS whilst in conversation with the cunning Vizzini.
It went something like 'these acorns you keep talking about are not what you think...'
Donald MacBean a soldier in the defeated government army, escaped his Jacobite pursuers by leaping across this 5.5m (18.5ft) rocky chasm, he also wrote a few books on sward fighting , I think he's one of the only sources we have on highland targe and broad sword, a very interesting man like so many from oor bonnie land 😀
love the fork in the shirt pocket
A man's got to eat
Another great video! So interesting for anyone interested in Jacobites! I appreciate the effort that it must take, as you’ve made it look all so simple. Credit to you sir!
Thanks Daniel. Yes, they always take much longer than I anticipate. Maybe if I got things right first take it would shorten the process eh? The one I've been working on this weekend comes out on Tuesday and, whilst it's been a lot of work I think it will be an absolute belter! Don't miss it
Oh Daniel, I probably should have had more of a commercial hat on and said: 'Yes they do take a lot of effort and here's how you can support me.' To be fair, you can support me without it costing you a penny, just by using the Amazon link at the bottom of any of my videos to do your Amazon shopping. Here's a link to a video I made with three different ways to support, including the no cost option. 😍
CrowScotland History Tours - Thank you! looking forward to it! Quality stuff! 👑👑👑
This would make a great hiking tour.
I'll drive the support vehicle😁
Thanks for the shoutout for my Clansman Alexander Duncan and our excellent Clan Donnachaidh museum! Bruar Falls is nice too!
Aye, it's a bonnie walk
I’m loving your series - hope you keep making more
Telling the story of *the Rout of Moy* was a fine detail - touring a 'Jacobite Road' of local history itself being a meaningful activity for visitors to Scotland.
*Dunkeld* looked especially inviting, indeed.
A bonny toon
The House Of Bruar is threatening closure,why? Ask me later.=Another great story Bruce, shared!
Brilliant stuff Bruce, your the star ⭐️ pal. Ken what a wid love your take on how the english language replaced the mither tongue, the gàidhlig. You’ve a wee something aboot you neeb, fantastic story teller. Love your work
I actually mentioned in passing one of the factors in the decline of Gaidhlig in filming I did today. That should come out on Tuesday's video, so watch out for that.
Ohhh. Gotta get back there ASAP.
Looks a lot like Kaministaqua… where many Highlanders immigrated to for the fur trade in my part of the world.
Sad to hear the way the Bonnie Prince skived off.
I didn’t know the clans massed again after Culoden , I always think what the UK would have been like if the prince had continued onto London instead of stopping short.
There be history, that little word if with a huge meaning. Both our countries racked and ruined, people’s on both sides and families divided.
Think it still echos today.
Bruce marvellous content and videos thanks.
Bruce, another outstanding video. I know what I'll be doing this week
This stuff is fascinating I've been wanting to do a motorbike tour up through to Inverness for a while but the pandemic put it on hold, now that I know I can follow this route and visit these sites I'm glad I had to wait.
This is giving me ideas for my future trip to Scotland. Thanks Bruce.
And yes, I will be hiring a tour guide. *wink*
Joined the Patreon.
Brilliant
They wrote directions on stones? 1:22… very cool!
Of course😊
My Auntie had a holiday home near Kingussie, spent many a happy day in the area, love the place. The kids used to love visiting the Highland museum.
Another great video fella - love your content. All the best :)
Thanks John!
Love your stuff .. that if seen. Coming to Perth down a9 tomorrow il seeing some of these 😅 I hope
Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane! Almost lost my tea when you mentioned the good bathrooms. Had I stayed longer, I planned to write a guide book to the loos of Scotland. It is my pet theory that they are generally unheated not because Scots proprietors are cheap (as some claim) but because they are canny and know a trip will cause an extra drink to be sold just to warm up!
Aye maybe😂
8:32 Oi Oooooooi!! 👋😉
Just visiting Inverness today beautiful journey
The house of Bruar really do have the best toilets ever. I have told everyone lol
True
Great video. I would recommend leaving cans of cold beer instead of acorns to lure people down to lochside eh. Cheers.
🤣🤣
Lovely Sunday spent in my level 4 lockdown on some Scottish History Tours. Thanks Bruce, was good to get out and about hahaha. 🌿
😜
Love this channel....History is enjoyable 💚
yay more beautiful blue scottish skies.
Every day's like heavan
You will appreciate this comment bruce, all the world.s problems stem from english imperialism right back to Edward 1, and now they do it by proxy thanks to the good old USA, I don't blame the normal every day person, I blame the leaders over the centuries for their evil ambitions, you do remind me of somebody but I can't just remember who, but it will come to me eventually, what subject did you teach as a teacher, and why have you left the teaching game, cause you are meant to be a teacher, well your doing it here, and being scottish I love our history........ Aw the best
I was a physics teacher. I left teaching to work in business training. I left that to become a stand up comedian. Now I do a bit of that and tour guiding. I've had none of either since March, so I'm doing this whilst I'm not working. At some point I'll have to go back to being funny and showing real actual live people around
I love history too. I try and learn as much as I can so I know what I`m talking about .
So I do not make narrow minded judgements that suit want I want to believe .
Bruce's work is very good and full of detail and the complexities of Scottish History . The whole tangled Bruce thing has become less so because of his stuff.
Still working on Mary Queen of Scots.
As a Northamptonian of Caribbean heritage and of the Mcintosh liniage i agree with you English/wessex colonialism
I love your vdeos! Thanks again for shedding some light on Scottish history.
I love your videos Bruce, thank you for making and sharing them.
I have such deep emotions when I watch and listen to your stories, as one of the scattered children of Kintail they pull at the heartstrings and my thoughts wander to far away places and times.
Thanks so much for that
loved your whistlestop tour...thank you !
You are so welcome!
Quality as always Bruce
Thanks again!
I’m loving your informative and entertaining videos! As an American with Scottish heritage on both sides, I’m trying to understand the Jacobite experience. Do you have a video to help understand the overall situation more clearly? Or could you make one at some point in the future?
Thanks again for everything that you do!
I fricken love your videos! Thanks Bruce I'm gonna find the Jacobite road and walk it in summer x
Please do!
Well done, Bruce! More great stuff!! Just another little thing..."Ruthven" is pronounced "Riven". Keep up the good work!
Prince Charlie was not so 'Bonnie' as Grandad use to say. Great video.
Cheers Wayne, thanks for taking the time
Right, this has engraved Scotland onto my travel list!
A shame it’s not in the EU anymore, but luckily the visa waivers should be still in effect!
Please do the Dunkeld video soon!
I'll try. I've been there in three videos. There are so many things in Dunkeld, but also so many other things to tell you about as well
You should be on mainstream TV.
Ah ken. Ah've cut oot the swearin an everythin🙄
The number 9 now has a whole new meaning to me in old famous songs. 🙂 Also, was that a joke? A true Blue would know about the mighty Oak.
Bruce, where about is that Perth stone on road 9? I thought I knew a wee bit about my area but it turns oot I don't! 🤦🏼♂️Just love the videos, keep them coming!!
You know the path from Blackford behind Stewart's farm to the Gleneagle's golf course? From the north side of Blackford you go through a gate on your left. Follow the track through a field. At the other side of the field there's a gate. Through the gate and no more than 20 yards it's down to the right.
Scotland History Tours Cheers mate, I'll make it a priority to get there ASAP. Many thanks! 😎
@@ScotlandHistoryTours how do you know what is private land and what is public land?
I'm sure everyone can't just walk through a golf course!
😂Yes they can. This is Scotland. We have the right to roam so long as we don't cause problems. I walks across Gleneagles golf course all the time
@@ScotlandHistoryTours ooh that's nice
Back in1983, me and the ex drove from Stratford upon Avon to Brodie. It was mostly the old A9 in them days. Went through Dunkeld and Killikranke. Took hours but we did stop and look at some sights. Not so historic now wit the new A9 ..
...ad they're duelling it through the Killikrankie battlefield
Another great one my friend! hey, can you tell us a little story about you? That's one Id like to hear!
Accessible, interesting, entertaining and the true story of Scotlands rich history.
More power to your elbow big man.
Neil Oliver this is not thank God.
Aye, I wish I had his money 😉
@@ScotlandHistoryTours, matter of time mate.
Stick in and I will continue to share.
I'm well travelled and was living and working in the Falklands where Scots from Harris shaped the barren land.
Sadly the place has little concept of its heritage despite having many Scots names.
Great video Bruce.
Some very good ideas for places to vsit. Love Dunkeld myself and does the Killiekrankie Visitor Centre still have that diorama of the battle? (It was nearly 40 years ago when I was last there...)
Silly Wizard's: "Parish of Dunkeld". Have you illuminated that cultural gem? Would love to hear it.. From a lowly, Sept serf o'the Clan Fraser. Lost in Amerikee, NW WA State. Mon Dieu..
This was fasinating! And your such a great history teller!!! What about you? What is your spot in history? Your ancestors? Id love to hear it!?
So enjoying learning more about my Dads home country. Cant wait until I can return when the world opens up once again! PS. Dont know why but the subtitles come on, check out the last few sentences, made me lol!
Is that the automatic subtitles ?
@@ScotlandHistoryTours I realized that the subtitles just came on for your video. I think normally you have to turn them on. (in the settings) Gave me one heck of a good laugh.
Lady Anne Mackintosh of Moy was actually the wife of the Clan Chief
Yes, what did I say?
Another great, entertaining history lesson. Thanks Bruce. BTW, I vaguely remember a poem, something about seven men in Moy Castle. Is that the same place as the Rout of Moy, do you know? (I know there's a Moy Castle on Mull, but the rout story sounds familiar from somewhere.
Seven men of Moidart?
Good stuff mate, I will look for the acorns😂
I will be at Culloden at the end of September if you fancy a wee swalie.
Beers on me.👍
Sounds good. The acorns should still be there
@@ScotlandHistoryTours come up, I will be there!
Kings mill hotel, then two nights in Fort William back to Inverness for 4th night then fly back to 🏴 on wed.
Cymru am byth👍
Old story of the rout of Moy....a wounded English soldier crawled out of the battle smoke and mist and called out to his colonel, the commander of 1500 English troops, and shouted hoarsely "Sir! Beware! It's a trap! There's two of them!!!".

@@ScotlandHistoryTours - Nice one, Bruce!!
Ack! That's my clan's museum! I was there in the summer of '99 while on a family reunion trip. My grandfather, Frank Duncanson, was born in Elgin. So every three years we'd all meet up somewhere. in 1999, we began in Oban, where our cousins own a hotel, and then caravaned through the highlands. It was amazing. (Not the point of the video, sorry.)
😂
Sorry to keep posting comments last question for a while, have you done the Isle of Skye video, I have never been there funny enough and I intend doing it before the winter comes in
I think Skye will need way more than one video. I have some topics I want to cover up there, but it would takd overnight stays and all that stuff. I'm hoping that I will get enough
support through Patreon and Buy Me a Coffee so that I can make this a job, rather than a hobby. It's unlikely I'll travel as far afield as Skye before that though. Incidentally there are three ways you can support the channel (one of which is at no cost to you). Find out the details at www.scotlandhistorytours.co.uk/support
I should say, it's never a problem to post comments. In fact the TH-cam algorithm likes comments. The more engagement there is with my videos the more it promotes them. Just keep it clean 😜😜
Hahaha” Funnily enough I was born in Kingussie Hospital, brings back so many memories….NOT!!……..( My mother suffered terribly through the 30odd hrs of of labour and would have given any of the combatants you refer to “a run for their money!,) still, I reckon that’s the first time I’ve heard of the place since I last seen my birth certificate……thanks for the memories Bruce!,
“This is proper old!” Haha I’ll say
I must admit as an Englishwoman I shall never be able to understand the Scots point of view. You make the Jacobite Road sound so exciting. But I just find it unendingly sad how kings, queens and religion have led legions of poor men to their ruin and death, and the lord only knows what happened to the families they left behind.
Enjoying Your Videos !! Would Love to see you do one about the massacre of Glencoe.

Alexander Robertson of Struan the Shane Mc Gowan of his day .
😂
As I've told my English and Irish friends. You can put "Battle of...." In front of any town or village along that road and stand a good chance of being right.😂
😂Aye
Would like to hear your thoughts on Oliver Cromwell v Charles I......boy was he hated by the Church of Scotland.....and would have said same church accepted your boy?
Great video. Bonnie prince Charlie done more lasting damage to Scotland than longshanks himself could of dreamed off!
Hmmm. Maybe a touch extreme
@@ScotlandHistoryTours aye it was fair enough. He was the biggest chancer in Scottish history you have to give me that
HiYA Bruce !
I understand the part at the end about hoping we have a great day , (Mòran taing ! Thusa cuideachd ), but what does the "Dry right Now" part refer to?
In my many trips to Scotland, I was often subject to the horizontal rain that could find its way through even the best bound clothing. Does it have something to do with that? Or is there a darker historical meaning? 🤔
🥰😅😅
Any plans for a Lady Anne McIntosh clip? I think she was a Farquharson by birth, according to an old friend of mine.
Didn't I mention her?
@@ScotlandHistoryTours Yep, you mentioned her. But I was wondering if a woman of her character might be worth a clip of her own?
