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.

Thanks for the heart . From my heart an English woman. Now I know you really love us as you're 44% English 😆 🤣 😂 😹 ❤️
Bruce comes through with the final part of Indian Peter's story, like we knew he would. Thanks Bruce.
So hundreds of years later it appears our politicians have learnt a lot from the Indian Peter saga on how to evade justice
Aye that's aboot right
Love storyteller Bruce’s brilliantly creative and fun style of presenting Scottish history! Does Scotland realize he’s a national treasure?
Ah, you're too kind
@@ScotlandHistoryToursa genuine successor to Dave Allen RIP, who was a storyteller...😊😊
Just love that Royal Mile architecture ❤ Bruce is lovely too. ❤
He’s brilliant. Deserves a pension from the state
You love really easy we noticed regularly
I confess that in my 64 years on this earth this is the first I have heard of this illustrious fellow....thank you.
Glad to have brought the story
Surely a Holywood trilogy to follow , The life of Indian Peter , I would definitely go and watch that
there's a traditional American proverb: "why rent a lawyer, when you can buy a judge?"
😂
😂Aye good point
Probably cheaper too, depending
@SugarandSarcasm I do like your handle! It's a quiet trait in my family.
...😅😅😅😅
I'm 5 seconds in and just want to say thank you for giving more of the Indian Peter story.
My pleasure
A wonderful conclusion to the story of Indian Peter and a great tale of never giving up no matter the "setback". No "bad hair day" excuses there.
I vaguely remembered a family story, about one of my ancestors a Great Great Great etc Grandmother during the French and Indian War. She was captured on a raid by the Indians and rescued about 18 months later and returned to the Virginia frontier West of the Virginia city of Roanoke. This story had me look up the story. I greatly enjoyed the story of Indian Peter. Thank, you
Brilliant
Nicely done as usual Bruce. That’s a complicated story to tell and you told it perfectly. Long live Indian Peter!
An adventurous, tenacious and robust life lived and beautifully recounted. Thank you Bruce ❤
Kissey Kissey fish Kissey
Thank you Bruce for this promised last episode, as always, a pleasure. This whole storyline was so fascinating, and although quite tragic in many ways it was also quite uplifting. In my long life of over 69 years, I am oft reminded that visiting with even the most unassuming individuals, one will often discover fascinating lives well spent, and full of adventure. Thank you for discovering and sharing Indian Peter's story with us. ❤
Thank you so much for the ending of Indian Peter... This was a great series.
Thanks
Success IS the best revenge! ✊
Indian Peter's story should be a series of movies or streaming episodes. To think that a poor farm boy, kidnapped indentured servant, could have not only had all those adventures, but become an inventor and influential entrepreneur in Edinburgh. And, he was like a pitbull going at corrupt Aberdeen!
This is now one of my favorites, Bruce, would love to see more details or spinoffs. (I bet those prostitutes had some stories😉).
Thank you! 💜🏴✌️😎
Thank you Mr Fummey!!!!! Not only do I wait with excitement for each Saturday morning, but you’re giving us more Indian Peter! Wuhu! Excellent!
😜
Eventually, Peter gets his compensation and has a more equitable life. Great story, Bruce.
Brilliant! Indian Peter rocks some more! This guy needs a Grammy award 😁
True dat
Didn't disappoint. Brilliant as always. Thanks Bruce 👏
Ah thanks
@@ScotlandHistoryTours Go on outta that, sure you already knew that 😁
Hi Bruce, This is Alan, We met at the JNK YRD . I have followed the Indian Peter story through your channel. He was an incredible person. I am going to make a point to visit his grave site the next time I am in the city. Thank you for all your stories.
Brilliant. I love it when I hear stuff like that
I enjoyed hearing about Indian Peter’s revenge. Thanks Bruce.
Thank you Bruce! this Indian Peter is quite the character.
Thanks for finishing the story Bruce.
My pleasure
Marvellous story and it's just as hard for the wee folk te get justice noo sad but true 😢🏴🏴
Thank you for sharing Peter’s story. His ability to overcome adversity is inspiring.
Not half
Thanks for completing the story.
A remarkable man.
He was indeed
Another great video by Bruce. I read Peter Williamson's book 'French and Indian Cruelty' and his time with the Indians and subsequently with the British army makes for some grim reading. The violence inflicted on both the settlers and the Indians was brutal. How he survived it is astonishing.
Love the locational filming, the tourist boards must love you.
They better
Thats a lot of living in one life. Fascinating story excellently told as always. Cheers Bruce.
Thanks for finishing that tale, you big teaser. And well worth the wait, an incredible story of a life that was lived.
Aye, quite a life
Excellent culmination of the stories and life of Indian Peter. Thank you.
Wow how crazy that Indian Peter passed away on my birthday... 1-19....❤️🏴
He had 363 days to choose from and you know what😜
Thanks for identifying the his place of rest. I’ll have a look next time I’m through and have time. Have wandered that cemetery a couple of times.
Wow, thanks for that story. I visited that cemetery back in May when my family and I were in Scotland. We like walking around those places imagining who these people were. Now I know who one of them was. My wife is a McLaughlin. We found a grave for possibly one of her family members there, as they lived in Edinburgh before coming to the US.
Fabulous conclusion to the Indian Peter trilogy! Top stuff, Bruce! 💙🏴👏
Ah cheers
Didn't Jimmy live and love you're Scotland
Thank you so much for this fascinating rags to riches tale. Your storytelling is so engaging. Outstanding as usual.
Many thanks!
Thanks for this Bruce, a truly amazing tale. What a life Peter had and so much resistance (or bloody mindedness 😂). Looking forward to your next story
Brilliant
Such a good story teller. Told with sensitivity and respect 🌞
Thank you so much!
What a story. This guy Peter Williamson should have a film made about him. Several films!
True
what a character and tale of resiliency, only a Scotsman. An incredible man.
True dat
A piece called “The Rabblers Rabbled” by William Meston of Aberdeenshire who was a Jacobite that was good friends of clan Keith and had at one point been governor of Dunnottar Castle, was reprinted by Peter in Edinburgh in around 1770.
Quite interesting really as I myself do have a copy of this rare find of a book in my possession
Great continuation of story from pervious episode. Bruce knows how to spin a tale even if he dose not know how to get out of the rain! Recommend watching
😜
Bruce mentioned he was not very familiar with the French side of history in the New France region of Canada. I humbly suggest reading the "Pioneers of France in the New World" authored by Frances Parkman publisher little, Brown and Company 1867. Many helpful citations in this book series.
France's problem was Napoleon.
He sold French possessions in America to finance his obsession for domination in Europe , including his disastrous attempt to invade Britain, consequently English is the lingua franca and not French,
@@readmylisp the history period Bruce was unsure of was early New France colonial... 1500 thru 1760.
Are you ?@@davecadorette-tv1tk
One of my ancestor's was a “bonded servant “ from Cornwall ! He was sold back and forth between 2 brothers for a total of 13 years ! After the 3rd sale , they both woke up with their thoughts cut 🤔! Georgia 1740-1753 ! The Tisdail family has been in the south eastern states ever since ! All For One !😏
nice story👍
What a life Peter lived! Wow! An inspiration to follow your gut and fight for what you know is right! Thanks for this story Bruce!
You're welcome
I just love your videos so much, Bruce! Thank you for being here. ❤
Thanks for watching!
🚬😎 wow bro .. how fortunate we are these days compared to back then .. thanks to dudes back in the day back then , such as peter . 🤠
Loved the tight lipped ladies of the night just on the edge of TH-cam lol.
😜
Just found this channel Bruce. I’m working my way through your videos. I’m from Liverpool but have lots of family in Scotland. Your ability to bring proper history to life is amazing mate and that’s thanks to your unreal and yet soothing voice ha 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Welcome aboard
Wow that was so good. Bruce and Crew. What does these streets smell like? We all love theater smell!!
Need to do a scratch and sniff version
@@ScotlandHistoryTours Bruce thats a bit cheeky. You know what I mean. You've shown amazing places which all have a differnt smell. I can smell your coffee Bruce from here. Your house smells spicy and fun. The battle fields smell will never change in your country. The older the country the longer the smell last. Blood what can you say it just doesn't come out . I was in snyder Tx its smelt l dead Buffalo and they cries were still in the wind. My last day i learnt about the the last white Buffalo calf he was shot in 1933 Before 1994 Miracle the white buffalo calf First of ten calves in one of the Native nations prophecy. It was a cute town for black and white photos. but soul crushing feeling plus I had land lock sickness. No Moutains to big hills I was lost in the day time home was following Orion. Flati inland make me sea sick is what land lock feels like
What an incredible man with an incredible life. Love it❤❤
That was astounding. Every time that guy hit rock bottom, he rose up and made good. I am glad he made his point for justice. It was other people's children they were trafficking after all.
Thanks, a brilliant ending to an extraordinary life👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed
So glad to hear the rest of the story. Thank you Bruce.
So this is what the events of Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Kidnapped' is based on. I never knew. Thank you for sharing this story.
Indeed
Apparently the reason the coffee houses led to the enlightenment was that until then, the most common way to purify water was to ferment it - ie make beer. So everyone was only ever drinking beer. Then coffee came along, and suddenly everyone wasn't going around half-cut all the time and they could think clearly.
And there was me thinking it was because of the highly literate population 🤣🤣🤣
Nobody thought to boil it , like you do for coffee ?
@@ScotlandHistoryTours There's that too of course 🤣
@@readmylisp I guess not!
Thank you Bruce for giving us the second part of Indian Peter's story
It's my pleasure
Fascinating tale. Master story teller. What a gem this channel is.
What a clever and brilliant man!
Still buzzing I bumped into you the day you filmed this, you walk fast! Thanks again for taking the short while you did to speak to me and my friend, even though you were in quite a rush. Very gracious of you, great guy :)!
Great video as well as always!
Brilliant
Thanks!
Ah thanks
Absolutely love the Royal Mile! I stayed just off the way near hollyrood at a very nice hostile for two weeks in 2014. Been wanting to go back ever since.
Thanks for all you do, brother. The 3rd video in the series almost feels like an early birthday present, as I'm going to mark another trip around the sun on Thursday 😀
Thanks again Bruce, I would like to see you with your own TV show on Scotlands history. You deserve it.
Maybe one day!
Id love to hear more abut Adam Smith
A'reyt Bruce. Is there an Indian Peter's coffee house today? If not, it seems the Scots need to get back that enterprising spirit. Get cracking and you would not need to ask for as many coffees? Folk could come to you for your tales, like they did for your subject of yet another exceptionally well presented video. I could see a base there for Scotland History Tours, Edinburgh sight seeing trips. Budding authors could pick up on traveller's tales, whilst buying your coffee and signing up to your internet publishing. A little treasure island (oops, no, wrong book for the video).
Call it "Bruce and Pete's Brewbox"!
@@marklammas2465 Indian Peter is a historical figure to base it on. Lucky for us Bruce is still here and plans to be for some time, judging from the 60th birthday bash video.
@@alansmithee8831excellent idea.....😊😊😊...E...
What a great life Indian Peter had with no help from the people who should have loved and protected him as a child. It has been an honour meeting him. Thank you Bruce.
It's been an honour sharing him
Thanks for part 2
Bruce, if you ever do an audio book, please let me know. I love your storytelling abilities
I am so glad that he won out in the end! What a story!
Fascinating story, brilliantly told. Thank you.
Thanks for listening
So interesting . Thank you . Break a leg with the tour.
Quality Brucey fella
i bought the book, about the life of Indian Peter ,the gory parts are not repeatable on YT ,Peter was a very resourcefull man
True
great vid. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
That was great man. Really enjoyed it! Thanks!
My pleasure!
Great part two on Indian Peter Bruce, very enjoyable to watch 👍👍
Great video Bruce =D
Thanks 👍
I've had a globetrotting life filled with adventures, joy, and heartbreak. Gosh I feel inferior compared to this guy...
Thanks for a great story, Bruce!
You and me both!
Thank you so much for the story.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done cheers from BC
See you in July
So from what I can gather Indian Peter was in a way the creator of the post office.All the very best 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
Thank you!
You're welcome
Looks like I'll be seeing you in stranraer next year
Yes indeed
Great story as usual. It was also delightful to see so many familiar and favorite spots in Edinburgh. You managed to get shots of both of the Airbnb flats I have stayed in.
We wanted to make sure we got them both in😜
Great story!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks! You’re a great story teller
Glad you enjoyed it!
thanks
No problem
Bruce, thank you for making this a series of videos instead of just one. Peter Williamson's extraordinary life deserves no less!
Aye he was that
Bruce, your channel has grown massively. Congrats!
I want more, more, more😎
ah, thank you for the conclusion! What a life, what a world, what a story!
Thanks for this Bruce! A lot of us have been waiting. Even though I know the story - I've been waiting for you to tell it.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Always something interesting from yersel. You ever seen history de-fragged on TH-cam? I recommend her Batavia series - I'm sure you could do something similar about Scottish naval misadventures. Cheers!
Now that sounds like a heavy challenge
Brilliant little series!
What an interesting character.
I like the way you present the story
Thank you very much!
Thanks
Ah thanks
Fascinating. There should be a monument for Indian Peter. ❤
😊 here's a drink of coffee in memory of Indian Peter!
Interesting...
Very!
What a story. Brilliant Bruce.
