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.

[@JockGit64]

My Dad was a Prison Officer at Peterhead, and I grew up there till we moved back to Glasgow at the age of 9. I have fond memories of "days out" to Cruden Bay and swimming in the sea in my knitted woolen burgendy swimming trunks 🤣. Never realised the history that surrounded us at that time, but we loved our time in the North East, so much so that my Dad's last wish was to have his ashes scattered off the harbour wall at Peterhead, even though we were all born in Glasgow. A visit back is long overdue, but with the discovery of the oil I fear so much will have changed.

[@colingordon5030]

Wow Bruce I now live in Cruden Bay and without you I would have no idea about this battle. I thought this area was only famous for Draculas Castle, Thank you so much for enlightening me will not look at the golf course in the same way ever.

Thank You Sir. I often wondered how the Scots and the Norsemen eventually became allies before 1066. A mutual respect on the battlefield.

[@callumgordon1668]

In his book Anglo Saxons, an excellent book apart from a very sloppy reference to MacBeth, Marc Morris writes about Canute’s foray into England, where of course he eventually became king. I didn’t know about this battle before your brilliantly told video and like others thought “this’ll be about Largs.” But it could be argued this battle didn’t just assure the continuation of the Kingdom of Scots, but changed the path of English history, notwithstanding there was already a powerful Viking base in the Danelaw.

A'reyt Bruce. This was really interesting. As a Yorkshireman, my county is known for Vikings. Note that as a Yorkshireman I am bound by tradition to mention that I am at every opportunity. I often get the response of "They went viking. Do not call them that!" on my comments, when I mention the subject. I always say that it is our modern word for our ancestors and something like "Hardrada luck". Surely they Canute be serious, these Knut-ers? I loved holidays to Scotland as a kid, so finding out that Scotland was made from Picts, Scots and Angles coming together to protect themselves from the Vikings and the link to my local history made your history more interesting. Plus, it was even before you "conquered" Doncaster. Mind you, Whitby claims Dracula as well as saying it has better fish and chips than anyone else, even Oban.

That really puts into perspective how relatively united the Scots were compared to the English with dual battles of Stamford bridge and Hastings in 1066 just 50 years later despite being closer to 'Viking lands'.

[@johnfinister5011]

The "English" defeated the Vikings at Stamford Bridge but were unsurprisingly unable to repel the Normans at Hastings shortly afterwards.

[@TadeuszCantwell]

@@johnfinister5011 My point was they weren't even trying to attack Scotland in the first place.

[@lesliehart]

Pretty sure Tostig met with Harald Hadrada had around 2,000 troops of Malcolm III King of Scots, these were killed along with Harald and Tostig at Stamford Bridge

[@Wee_Langside]

I've always been impressed by the Saxons army performance in 1066. March from the south defeat a large army in Yorkshire. March straight back to face a similar sized army. Only being defeated by narrow margins and a bit of over enthusiasm. What would have happened if Harold had waited for William to land and not give him time to prepare

[@nancyholcombe8030]

Thank you Bruce for another fantastic eye opening story! The Viking 'thing' that you addressed at the beginning is the reason why you're a historian and they are history majors! 😃 And it hadn't occurred to me that these people in the 11th century were in fact who you rightly identified them as. I will look at this with new eyes in the future. I am wondering if the bodies were properly removed to make the golf course or left there because the terrain was good and just needed a hair of sculpting. Kind of hoping for them that they were left. I know that some folks will think I'm awful and that a golf course in modern times is a horrible thing to do, but think about it for a moment. The grounds are kept in perpetuity and battles are fought on the links every day, complete with with shouting, cussing, cheers and betting! I'm willing to wager that the dead who have the learned the follies of their ways first-hand are shouting, laughing and wagering right along with this new type of 'warfare'! It's certainly much safer and usually has a brew or two at the end so they're probably applauding them! I've seen my people's graveyards become much worse at home, so I'm glad that something that actually protects this sacred ground will be there, probably forever. Fields would be boring to these men!

[@Crusty_Camper]

These isolated reminders of what made us, US are so interesting and important. In the churchyard of a small church near my home on the Solway is a Viking Hog's Back grave marker. Just the one. We have fascinating history.

[@charlesmcmasters]

It guts me that a place of peace and remembrance has been turned into a golf course. That the single artifact remains is testament I imagine, to the Antiquarians who were scuttling about saving historical objects (much to Time Teams great displeasure a century later 😂) Also - much thanks to Bruce for now I know how to say Cnut, among many other words that I had only other read and never heard spoken.

Also post the harrying of the north pickings will be slim below the English border, and I presume Scottish settlements along the Northumbrian border, wouldn’t be much better off because of the lack of trade coming from the south, as well as lawlessness on the border.
