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.

Interesting fact when Queen Elizabeth II died she died as a humble Scottish Presbyterian. Because when in Scotland she was a member of the Church of Scotland as opposed to being the Head of the Church of England.

This guy is the best on the internet for Scottish history. Absolutely fantastic 👍

On the rugby front it is, of course, Princess Anne who is known to be a passionate supporter of Scotland and she seldom, if ever, misses a game at Murrayfield.

Bruce this is soooo cool! I'm a direct decendent of Stewart line. Been working on ancestry tree for years and your video helped do further checks and balance on my tree! 🤩🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇲

Interesting fact.. last royal born in Scotland?..not Queen mother (born in England) but Princess Margaret, the Queen's sister, born in Glamis Castle.

A totally fascinating episode! I'd love to see you and Lars talk more about Scottish and English history. Definitely top notch discussion by the both of you! And my condolences to the royal family and the country of England and the United Kingdom for the loss of the queen. I've always considered her my queen as well. I mourn the loss of her too. Cheers to y'all from Georgia in the US.

I was taught in the 1970s at school in Perth, that Culloden wasn’t a Scots v English battle, but between the Stuart and Hanoverian dynasties.

Whoa.

Hi, Lars! Our talk last May (2023) was fascinating and guided me to finding Clan Donnachaidh as my clan. Thank you so much!

[@free_gold4467]

What a great chat, Lars was brilliant.

Bruce, watching your channel from the states, I laughed out loud at

The info, education, anecdotes and not to mention the editing were absolutely, "spot on". All of the stills, portraits, and paintings were appropriately placed throughout the video. Well done. Very well done.

A totally fascinating episode Bruce, cheers...

Victoria and Albert weren't 'distant" cousins. They were first cousins. Her mother and his father were brother and sister. Victoria was only half German on her mother's side. Queen Elizabeth 2nd and her husband Philip were both great great grandchildren of Victoria and Albert.
