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 couldn't read at age 9. An illustrated book on the Vikings opened the brain box and snapped me out of the struggle with dyslexic tendencies. I owe a lot to the Vikings.
-
Here in 'New Scotland' (Nova Scotia, Canada) we MacDonalds always knew about our Viking heritage -- Somerled and all his kin. Just discovered your channel and will keep watching. Moran taing!
-
A lot of Scots still admire the Scandinavian model of fair and just political policies. Excellent video Bruce 🏴
-
I'm Brazilian, and I did some ancestry tests. I was very surprised when my results for Scotland were around 40%....45%...I've always been in love with Scotland 😍🏴 about the Clans... history in general... nature... I think everything is absolutely beautiful. Do you know when it seems like you were born in one place, but it seems like you belong somewhere else? I felt this...I even get emotional watching videos about Scotland 🥲😅 well, I understood why, after I did the ancestry tests 😅 I'm connected with Scotland 🥲😍 well..I still have Irish, Welsh, England, Portuguese...Amerindian...etc.. but My passion is Scotland ❤️🏴

Greetings from Canada.I have been finding my roots through Ancestry. I too, like other comments, have Scottish, Irish, and Scandinavian DNA. It is so interesting to listen to this video and get a greater understanding of how the Vikings established themselves across the world.
-
My weekends wouldn’t be the same without your videos Bruce....and yes, I’ve always has a soft spot for Vikings....and Pirates 😁🏴
-
The Vikings had a sense of adventure unrivalled, Hard environments make hard people.
-
Norse-Gael here 👍 🇸🇪 🇳🇴 🇫🇮 🇮🇸 🏴
-
1:45 had me in absolute stitches 😂 Loving the banter Bruce! As always, you deliver. I'm not alone in saying that your videos are incredible, we love your channel mate and you deserve serious recognition for the effort and care you put into the stories and facts
-
As a Norwegian, that feels some sort of weird kinship with the Scottish, I enjoyed this video. Things could have been different if it hadn't been for that damn thistle...
-
A lot of those Norse- Highland names are also found in Ireland due to the viking founded cities in Dublin
-
I love the Vikings; I live in the States, but my ancestry, via DNA testing, is all Scots, Irish, northern England, and Scandinavia. And while some might say it’s just a load of fancy, visiting those places, I felt as though I had come home and was meeting my own people. My surname is Reid, a common one in Edinburgh.
-
Thanks Bruce for another great video.I’m an Aussie of Scottish ancestry.When I did a DNA test and got the results back I was surprised that I had about 7% Norwegian DNA.I was completely shocked.After tracing my paternal grandmother’s side in turns out they were from Orkney.So now I know how I’m connected to Norway.
-
MacAlpin the progenitor of the Macgregors. He was a great and vastly underrated king and rarely talked about.
-
From WAYYYY over here in Burnt corn, Alabama, and yes, it's a real place. YES, I love the Vikings. Also love your channel, man, thanks for all the hard work.
-
I’m extremely fortunate to have a legitimately recorded family tree that leads back to the Vikings who settled in Orkney, my clan are the Cloustons of Orkney. My grandmother moved from Orkney to the Borders for work, and married a Geordie, now we reside here in Newcastle. I’m a Geordie born n bred, but by Christ am I Scottish too. Great video, I love your content.
-
Loved this! I’m Norwegian and Scottish - I hear so much old Norse in the Gaelic language (some words and enunciation) I’ve often wondered how much influence there was.
-
As a child I always felt this affinity with Vikings ...my grandfather is half Scottish go figure
-
Not long discovered your channel. Its absolutely brilliant. Well done and thank you.
