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.

This is a cracking glen to visit. I first went there when i was tracing the path of the Knights Templar ( see the gravestones in Kilmartin chapel ) when they were forced to flee France. I was amazed by the neolithic and iron age sites in the glen itself. I have since camped in the area many times, and have studied as much as i can. I would highly recomend a visit to Kilmartin. I did have a rather nice lunch in the local inn. This is a must see glen for anyone interested in history.

@@Sandwich13455 Yes. The reason i was trying to track the movement of the Templars that fled the persecution in France, was because i had found hints that the so called bagage train and camp followers that joined the fighting at the end of the battle of Bannockburn, and hastened the retreat of the English army, may have infact been a body of Knights Templar. This always made more sense to me, than a group of poorly armed peasants chasing away , what was the finest fighting force in Europe at the time. It also made sense that the Knights Templar would need to find a safe haven, and Scotland was also excomunicated at that time, due to De Bruce commiting murder on holy ground. Scotland would have been the ideal safe haven. Fairly easy to sail to from France.

@@wulfcogle9988 Scotland had many Templar groups , who were already here at the time of there trumped up charges off heresy , some maybe did come here , who knows. Any place with the name Temple in it usually has a connection to them , the story of them at Bannockburn is a nice idea but if they did fight they would have been in ordinary clothes and not the Templar surcoats . I think the best theory of where french ones went was to America but we might never know , they have kept a lot of people busy trying to find out .

Our family originated from Kilmartin . When they emigrated to Canada, these homesteaders also came to call their thriving new southwestern Ontario settlement: Kilmartin . To serve as a reminder of the deep roots they still held back home. The original settlement is long gone; but Kilmartin church still remains as the rural community's heart.

We all have had our history and heritage crimes against us by one invader or religious cult. I was brought up Catholic, did I have a choice...no I didn't.

Bruce Fummey is a treasure. I never knew who he was until he started telling the stories of Scotland. Our ancestors were not knuckle draggers. There was a thriving culture and economy. Scotland and Ireland are in sight of each other through the islands. We're cousins. I'd really like to see you cover Iona, because of Neil Gaiman - In Relig Odhráin. In the US for ages there were native bones used in the foundations of every church built. But since Neil wrote a poem that is more famous than those of us lesser poets.

Oh wow!❤ I love the prehistoric. Scotland has so much to add to the picture of our ancestors. They were trading, traveling, interacting with so many communities all over. Many of those other places have artifacts that originated from Scotland, but where they lived most have yet to be found. The islands of Scotland are only now starting to unearth their tales as well as some mainland site’s. But the truth of Scotland staying true through out history (the bell beakers, Roman’s, Vikings). All these peoples from far off always seem to have interactions with the ancient Scott’s but none seem to have pushed in. I see a respect and reverence for the peoples of old in the archeological evidence that spread out over most of Europe. Imagine all the stories that have yet to be found again and you can’t help but be excited 😊

Ah Bruce you have great delivery and your videos are fantastic. I have to let you know I have known about this part of Argyll, for over thirty years. it's my special quiet place and once upon a time l lived nearby. The ancient kingdom of Dalriada strongly linked to Antrim, a place where the sky is always in conversation with the landscape. And you are right it is a special place with so many interesting stories. 😀

Love your videos . I live in kilmichael glen next door as it were. There are also cup and ring marks and standing stones there as well achnabreac where your tour started is probably closer to kilmichael than kilmartin but then again . I’m probably slightly biased in that regard. I love your history talks and don’t know how I missed this one.keep up the good work , I was also brought up in Pitlochry , so I had the best of both worlds. Saor Alba

I've been here many times Bruce, to every location you mention - but never has it hit me quite like it just did (and it can't fail to hit you). Thanks for that & thanks also for the lift you gave us, back to Blackford that night after your gig in Perth!! Lolz You truly are the gift that keeps on giving :)

I remember visiting Dunchraigaig cairn, over 40 years ago when I had first moved to Argyll. it was a gloomy winters afternoon, made more gloomy by the trees surounding the cairn. I startled a sheep, which was hidden in the most southerly side kist, obviously seeking warmth. It scared the living daylights out of me, when it errupted out of its' hidey-hole. Luckily I was wearing brown trousers, that day.
