Videography by Matt Ward at www.visualsofscotland.co.uk
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.

In heraldry, a drawn bow and arrow is also indicative of being victorious in battle which Wallace certainly was.

Edward really did own Scotland, he knew that he could buy off the nobles and if he bought off certain nobles and not others, he'd off balance Scotland by keeping the nobles pitted against each other. Then alone comes Wallace who doesn't care about money, only beer and Scotland. Hell as far as we know he may have only cared about beer and upsetting the nobles. Either way I'm with Wallace! I like beer! Well done Bruce and crew!

My direct ancestor was A Jenny Crawford. Her family were the Sherriffs of Ayr for hundreds of years. That family also married into the Wallace family from that same area. I know that Wallace had no issue, but I often wondered if the Crawford/Wallace Clans were related? Thank you for your time & all the knowledge of Scottish history that you give to the world. A great gift!

No known issue at least. I too am from the Wallace line. My second great grandmother was Susannah Wallace, and I've followed her ancestors back to 1442 so far. This line is from Elderslie, Renfrewshire, Strathclyde. I too have Crawfords in there--I don't see a Jenny. I have a bunch of ancestors named "William Wallace" of Craigie way back in that line. So my guess is that they were probably somehow related to this William Wallace. Sadly, I never even knew that I had Scottish in my ancestry until I started studying it recently. Now, I'm intrigued and trying to learn all I can.

Very interesting, He must have been a hell of a good leader. Ordinary people always supported and fought for him. He starts as a mysterious legend. In the end its his trail and execution in which he is a proven to be very real person who actually existed. With his achievements recorded as fact. Which is why his name is immortal. Others like Robin Hood ect remain mysterious legends if they ever actually existed at all.

I wonder if complained tae the council constantly aboot the state of the roads as weil? Lets have the trail between the two points.

I've long considered the Robin Hood myth to be nothing more than a piece of English propaganda... an inspiring fireside story of an English hero to keep the common folks calm as the threat of Wallace's invasion loomed large on the horizon. After all, there are far too many similarities between the two stories... from his being an archer and having a wife named Marion to his manservant:, Jack Short (Little John?) and the guerilla-style raids mounted from Ettrick Forest. The difference being: There is ample evidence of William Wallace... absolutely none for a "Robin Hood". My bet is that the term "Robbing Hood(lum)" was coined of Wallace for his cheeky beer raid!

Great video as always. You should check out the old graveyard in Monkton, Ayrshire. It’s said that while evading the English, Wallace sought refuge there with the monks and this is where he had the dream about at Andrew.

Riccarton Castle stood in what is now a petrol garage as you approach Kilmarnock from the Ayr side. This was Wallace's fathers. I was told many years ago that William Wallace was born there.

A wonderful presentation as always Bruce! Wallace was a man of the people and the stories here show why. Wallace would have also appreciated the humor you and your players had in doing this I think. It seems he took the cause seriously but not always himself unless it served the cause. I have a question though. In the 1990s, my friend and Celtic (folk) music bandmate married and they honeymooned in Scotland. His friend who lived there took them for a walk through the bushes and brambles to an incredibly old monument to William Wallace that you would not have known was even there as a dense forest and brush had grown up around it. His friend said at the time that the monument had been hidden on purpose to keep the English government from tearing it down since ancient times. Only the Scots knew where it was and only certain Scots at that! Is the monument in Ayrshire the monument my friend visited? I ask because it would be so cool to see it standing out in the open and loved by all now.

I'm not Scottish, nor do I live in scotland, and truth be told the only way I know of William Wallace is through that film, but I have to admit that stories like his, and others that depict histories that involve wars for things like rights and freedoms really interest me.

I like to think that his blood runs through my veins...even if just a drop. I am Scottish and my mothers maiden name is Wallis. Yes I know it is not spelled Wallace but through the years it was spelled multiple ways.
