June 2021 - looking for an update on the Tennis Elbow cure?

[@jeannecyrus1613]

Thank you for the mystical day. I LOVED seeing and hearing the wind and rain approach. Perhaps the people who left the baby shoe knew the pain would last for (their) ever, but needed a bit of relief so it's not always so hurtful?

[@jeannecyrus1613]

Would you think of taking us through the new Scottish Parliament Building, Bruce? Please?

[@andymcphee6923]

I laughed so much at Tam and Willie. They need a video all of their own. The neolithic Derek and Clive 🤣🤣 Yet another superb video, full of very interesting history, highly entertaining and deserving a prime time slot on national tv

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

😜

[@kurtbogle2973]

Are you sure your not Irish? Those stories put me on the floor! You definitely have the gift!

[@stevemolina8801]

I found your videos by accident and figured as my moms side is of Scottish decent i would watch one. I enjoyed them, now the bad news, now your stuck with me!

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

😂😂😂 I guess we'll have to walk this road together

[@MsRosemaryB]

Same here. greetings from Australia!

[@faithhowe6170]

Another informative and entertaining video, loved the conversation between Tom and Willie. Thank you Bruce.

[@fionaphillips3458]

Tam and Willie.

[@annasaylor3566]

I would love to visit there and your explanation and how you tell it is awesome. Thank you 😊🌹🦋❤️☮️

[@DonMackay64]

Three of my favourite local trips. Brilliant storytelling Bruce

[@jackjackson7577]

Although I am english he walks in my footsteps. I love the Black Isle. I found the Clava Cairns when I got lost on a motorbike trip to Culloden in the 80's.

[@staytuned2L337]

The anachronisms are so, so amusing 💜👏🏽

[@laragwen102]

At what time did Tom say: "Here, hold my dram and watch this." I must admit that I was so enjoying your story that I actually jumped at 6:54 when you bleeped???? out the F*** off. I actually had to stop the video and laugh out loud. Has anyone told you you should do stand up? I'm joking. I've watched a bunch of your stand up videos. This was such fun. Maybe you should audition for the roll of Brahan Seer? Thanks Bruce. Enjoyed it a lot.

[@douglascanning2942]

I really like the videos on prehistoric Scotland, would like to see more of them please

[@deejayk5939]

Too funny but interesting, love Tom and Willie, and the well…….with polyester

[@garybobst9107]

About the same time, some guy in a farming town somewhere said,' I've got an idea, something to do...' And that's how flippin' great piles of stone started. They're all over the world now. I've got a couple of rocks, what to do with 'em? I've got it! I'll make a pile of stones!

[@GlasgowGallus]

Great wee upload. From Glasgow myself, but lived for a time in Inverness and on the Black Isle, at Cromarty. My auld fella, also from Glasgow, has lived at Culloden for 30 years....Lotta good history and legends up there, can really lose yourself... HOWEVER... there's a definite dearth of good hotels up there. Better off at a wee B n B... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@graywolf4208]

Nothing like waking up at the crack of noon to watch another one of yer clips. I just cannea stop. Yer a terrific storyteller and entertainer. I've been to Inverness a couple of years ago. How I wish I knew about the cairns then. :) Oh, Whitehaven sends its regards to a John Paul Jones fan ;) Yer a Legend marra. ❤️

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

😂😂

[@spaninja5594]

I am planning to visit Inverness too. Since I am a holistic healer, I would love to know the mystic sites of Scotland and the traditional medicines as well.

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

To be fair that's probably not the focus of this channel. There must be channels that do that though

[@user-fl4hb3vs1x]

😂😂😂 excellent story telling, loved all of it, you’re a very funny and entertaining man; keep up the amazing work👍🏼

[@peterkelly1665]

brilliant Tam and Willy brings it to life great stuff

[@AngryPict]

Wullie and Tam need a neolithic cairn makeover show of the own 😁

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

😂

[@jamesbowden8917]

Love the vids, haven"t found anyone better for Scottish history with an awesome sense of humor.

[@elizabethhunter5667]

Oh goodness....closed captions are HILARIOUS!!! Thank you for the sweet tour!

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

Ah yes, I didn't get round to editing the subtitles because I've been trying to learn and get green screen to work for some filming I'm doing tomorrow. I have a French friend who's improving his English. He'll kaak his pants

[@jaylivingstone6340]

Thankyou for your brilliant videos love the variety of places subjects you cover .

[@leighcecil3322]

My mum's family came from Inverness area...dig what you're doing..🍻 informative & fun..😂.. polyester omg that will be there well after they've fallon of the perch .. probably a victim of the education system....👍 good work from Oz..🍻

[@helenswan705]

"It's mair than that Wullie" needs to become a chatchphrase. Fantastic story, I didn't know cairns like the Clave Cairns existed!

[@muleepete8]

Now this is fun! I would vote it the best story so far.

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

Ah, interesting

[@LynxChan]

Because of your videos I actually made it to The Clootie Well when we visited Inverness this week! 10/10 would recommend as the exact place the serial killer would trap you in the horror film 😂

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

Brilliant!

[@fayelawless2625]

look at that CAIRN!!! you always find the best spots to show off. somehow the piles of rocks are oftentimes more exciting than a nice sculpture. there's history in them there stones!

[@fayelawless2625]

these woods remind me of Aokighara in that they are old woods, full of people's hopes and dreams

[@robertguthrie1894]

Awesome places thanks again for all you do sir

[@jilldwilliams9208]

HILARIOUS!!! Probably did happen though!!!

[@TheGhostrider9667]

Been there - so cool!

[@junestewart5098]

Wonderful wee tour, the Norwegian word for clout is klut, same pronunciation as Scots. Hope the cloutie water helps that tennis elbow 😊

St Mary’s Well at Culloden battlefield was always known In my youth , as THE Clootie Well

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

I know the one you've talking about

[@pamelaadam9207]

The clootie well is a favorite place of mine

[@stumathers3192]

My grandmother used to make clootie pudding regularly, loved it.

Yay😎😎😎

[@Thurgosh_OG]

Clava Cairns and their sister cairn over at Corrimony (near Loch Ness) are great places to visit in full moonlight.

[@Myffy62]

Hi Bruce This is off the subject concerning the video I'm commenting on, but can you at some time in the future discuss in the history of how and why the unicorn is the national emblem of Scotland please?

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

That's actually a good call

[@exploreearth6275]

Interesting to hear about these places

[@kerry2634]

You're so passionate.

[@annegraham1891]

Must go to the well and get my knee sorted out. Interesting to hear about these places. Thank you.

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

I'll be honest I haven't had pain in my elbow and I can now perform incredible feats of strength. I have plans to go round circuses and fairs to sell the water I brought back at a tidy profit.

[@jackjackson7577]

[@junesmith852]

Ya know im nearly 50 years old and have never tasted "a clootie dumpling" 😢😢 i must put that on ma bucket list 😂

[@sharktomesmiles]

I love the first place. Though I'm pretty sure they did not have that conversation regarding to the Clava Cains. Do you have anymore early human or pagan stories and place?

[@stewartfenwick3658]

Visited Cromarty on account of my McKenzie ancestor but did not have the benefit of your tour info back then!

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

You can always go back😁

[@traildogisla]

Gonna have to make clootie dumpling sometime soon, all time favourite! The close to nature 'pagans' leaving plastic based clothes in the woods makes my bloody boil!!

[@Thurgosh_OG]

Probably not real Pagans but people showing a little respect for ancient sites and history.

[@traildogisla]

@@Thurgosh_OG huh?

[@garrymacnaughton8203]

How about the hill fort on Craig Phadraig in Inverness? And then there is the MacKenzie after whom the MacKenzie river to the great SLAVE Lake in CANADA. … from near where the castle on the Black Isle where Moray declared Independence in 1297. Think it was Avoch.

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

I covered that in my video about Andrew de Moray

[@scottmccann4509]

Thanks Bruce lots of laughs in there..... But was the husband of the countess actually with another lady?? Was he correct 🤔

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

Now there’s the question she should have asked

[@RileyWolfeable]

Emm, almost messed my pants after Willie told Tam t f off 😅

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

Aye, that Willie's an awfy laddie

[@lindaolmos2547]

Sorry you have arthritis also. Read the book Eat Right For Your Type about the relationship between blood type and digestion, which has helped me with my osteoarthritis

How's that hotel? I've got a room booked in January.

[@fionatinker23]

Clava is such a beautiful place to marry folk - I've conducted a fair few marriages there. (And you were up here and never came in for a cup of tea! Huff!)

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

😊Are we allowed cups of tea yet?

[@The-R-Evolution]

I had the good fortune to visit all three of these places when I came from Canada on a mystical mission that involved becoming an honorary member of Clan Sinclair in ‘08. Shame about all that synthetic material at the Clootie well- it could do with a cleanup, reboot and an instruction sheet about using cotton and whatnot. Chanonry Point was dolphin free when we were there too, and surprised by having to drive through the golf club to get there. Finding out about the poor seer that was set fire to. It seems from folklore that being a psychic was a poor career choice. Then there was Thomas the Rhymer at Melrose and his disappearance- not good for poets either.😂 The Clava Cairns was my favourite spot. It still has some mystical vibe that remains 8n the ground. If you look off to the bank in the south you can see a further set of larger standing stones as well that don’t get written up in the brochure or historical panels. Thanks for touching on some of these wonders of the country. The land is full of these echoes of the past that could use more of this sort of amplification.

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

I'm doing live shows in Canada in 2024. Shows in Halifax, Annapolis, New Glasgow, Moncton, Montreal, Perth , Ottawa, Toronto, Fergus, Seaforth, Calgary, Vancouver and Victoria. Most of the details are here www.brucefummey.co.uk/shows.aspx

[@The-R-Evolution]

@@ScotlandHistoryTours I look forward to seeing you here. The schedule shows 2 nights (16, 17 May) in Halifax but none in Annapolis. I want to be sure to get the right evening as I’m closer to Halifax. FYI, Moncton is close to Nova Scotia, but one of the more French locations in the Canadian maritimes.

[@ScotlandHistoryTours]

@@The-R-Evolution Kings Theatre in Annapolis haven't sent me a ticket link yet. I'll be honest I'm getting a little frustrated. There should be links for Halifax and New Glasgow. I'm hoping that Halifax will be popular enough that we'll get an audience two nights. We've already sold some tickets for these, wohooooo!

I always thought the Brahan Seer was fully aware of his fate, which explains his hesitancy in revealing the truth.When telling or not telling would end in the same result; the truth at least gave him some satisfaction.🤔🤔
