Edinburgh born and bred. It's a strange town, from it's prehistory (literally built on volcanoes), to it's huge advances in medicine, yet it must have been the dirtiest, filthiest town in history, with sewage literally thrown out the window onto the street. You should definitely do more videos on Edinburgh, there's so much history still here, hidden in plain sight, if you know where to look. So many villages that merged into what is now Edinburgh. Huge estates once owned by the very wealthy are now some of the most deprived housing schemes in the city. Your videos are brilliant, you cover the more obscure history that's usually missed, there's literally limitless options of topics you could cover. Looking forward to the next ones 👍
I so agree with you. I freaked out over the thought of the smell. Im over on the other great ocean side It's Mine Ocean!!! lol I do so geek out over the Highlands and its formation. I love earth science. Im still trying to find out How Low was the oceans? I found Hy Brazil on google earth map. Its still under water. One can see there is a lot of land passed West Ireland back to Europe known as Doggerland. Im one of thoughs peoples who think we have been here longer than we think. I love your post.
I wasn't sure I heard correctly, so I went back to 9:40 and listened again. Bruce mentioned Slartibartfast! That's so refreshing. Sometimes I feel like the only Douglas Adams fan left. I bring up Hitchhiker jokes all the time, but no one seems to know what the hell I am talking about,
ah, the meaning of life, the Universe and everything! the answer is "42", but who can say what the ultimate question is???? the mice have a lot to answer for, as do the dolphins......!!
Id love for you to walk around and show us the monuments. I’d also love for you to show us Glasgow. One area that I feel gets overlooked is the Galway area. I’ve only been there once, to the Viking centre, but there seems to be some interesting stuff down there. PS thanks for your work. Gives me a Scottish lifeline…. I live in Australia 🇦🇺
In February and March I'll be visiting the major towns in Australia and New Zealand with my live show Scotland Made the World. It would be great to see you. Get info at www.brucefummey.co.uk/shows.aspx
@@Lisa-pe7bx ooops I didn't even click to the Galloway Hoard. Just assumed they were confused as there was a viking boat/other artefacts found in Galway lol!
I have never been to Edinburgh but Glasgow lit my imagination when I was lucky enough to spend some time there. This video was really inspiring, I will visit that lovely garden and would love a walk around to watch, but also your insight into Glasgow would be excellent too. Thank you
Cheers Bruce. We were in Edinburgh for basically one day coming from Dunedin a couple of years ago. We spent it in the castle and the Royal Mile and never had the time to get the gardens. I wish we had. Hopefully we will be able to come back soon.
The best time I had in those gardens beneath the castle was numerous years ago when we were camping on the outskirts of the city. We came into the city and there was a pipes and drum competition. Varying from 2 pipers and 1 drummer to several drummers and loads of pipers. My recent visit to the city was this week where we parked the camper on the park n ride and got the bus in, which dropped us off right outside the Museum of Scotland. We went in just after 10am and came out 4pm and I still didn’t see everything. What a museum it was great.
@10:13 That sounds great to me, Bruce, I love learning about all things that have to do with the history of Scotland. Part of my family came to the US from Scotland in the late 1700s and Early 1800s. One of my great grandma's maiden name on my dad's side of my family was Campbell. Thanks for another awesome video, Bruce, cya next time and Ne Obliviscaris Latin for Do Not Forget.
Good morning SCOTLAND HISTORY BUFFS another Saturday another great video from my favorite creator. Yes I would like to see the monuments as well...💙🏴
Well Bruce, just keep doing the great job your doing and I look forward to another great video as always, hope your doing well, best wishes to you and your family
Ah, Edinburgh! One of my favorite world cities!! I would love to hear about the statues in the garden. I'm sure there are some interesting stories there!
Thanks for broader coverage of the park. Thanks especially for explanation of volcanic plug - best one for general public and much shorter than how my mom explained when I was a kid. She was explaining Connecticut, USA geology and used volcanic plug as an example of another geological process
I would love to see more about Princes garden’s features and sculptures. My late husband and I got our Phds at the University of Edinburgh and often went walking up from the psych department to the Castle and then to the gardens on the lunch hours or walking up the garden prior to catching a bus to the flat we rented near the Camp Estate. It was an important place for us, Prince’s Garden
"When the council havne padlocked it aff!" 🤣 Brucey, my brother, I happen to have access to a very sturdy pair of bolt cutters! Also, the idea of an all around, shall we say "monumental" tour, sounds amazing! Lots of love from Liz and Charles, and as always from your pal L.S
Yes, more Glasgow. But can you also do the Town and towns of the great Paisley conurbation? That is to say Paisley itsself, and Renfrew, Elderslie, Johnston and all the other little towns and villages that just sort of grew together and never got their own football team
@@fionatinker23 or the famous Snail In The Bottle case which set a significant precedent in modern law, the terrible disasters at The Glen Cinema and Paisley to Johnstone Canal, the photographer who broke new ground on war reporting with his photography of the American Civil War or the preacher who signed the American Declaration of Independence (although he might have mentioned that one before).
Brilliant video, Edinburgh, probably because they were too skinflint to knock them down, preserved their history. Glasgow,on the other hand, knocked down as much as possible at every possible time. I love my hometown but I so wish we had preserved more. Some Glasgow vids would be great Bruce. Much appreciated.
Oh Bruce I watch the World Anquities and been catching stuff on google. I understand there a few new finding plus more info on the old finding. Yes some you did add in the tour and some are in between stage from finding to studing before publishing. Thanks for helping me to understand my love for your home. Volcano!! I grew up not only in the city as a lass, but also in Kelseylville near Mt Konotcti is still rumbles but is dormant, funny the surrounding areas quite are attactive. I knew my Hawaiian grandfathers genes where going to prove why I love the formation of the Uk. Weirdly I had to see Fabled Fingal's Cave to understand my love for the land.
Hi Bruce Good telling of the story. Someone once tried to tell me that the one o'clock gun fired a cannonball into the Nor' Loch. I wasn't convinced I couldn't see my fellow Scots wasting expensive items by firing them into anything for no good reason. At 6 minutes a Sinclair appears as a criminal. Whenever I'm watching anything if a Sinclair appears they're the baddy. As a Sinclair I'm not happy with that.😢 Have you done anything on Govan and the Govan Stones? And Fairfield Shipyard? It's an interesting area of Glasgow.
@ScotlandHistoryTours there's a bit of modern destruction that should never have happened involved too. Not as bad as what was lost at Burghead in 19th century but not good.
The gun is still fired at 1 oClock as a time check for boats & ships on the Forth, Edinburgh a stunning and fascinating place. Thank you Bruce , nice to see you back on air !
Another great video. I used to live near Haymarket and frequented Princes Street Gardens, especially in the summer. Love the Slartibartfast reference btw Bruce. Your clearly a hoopy frood who really knows where his towel is 😉🤣🤣🤣
Bonus points for mentioning Slartibartfast and, as a resident of the auld toon (who grew up in Portobello) the notion of the odd diplodocus or two padding around on the shores of an equatorial Firth of Forth, with Arthur’s Seat and the Castle Rock putting on a volcanic firework display in the background to entertain American tourists, who had just arrived by dint of a fragment of their continent smashing into the North West of Scotland due to a slight quirk in the movement of tectonic plates, I will always hold this romantic (if slightly fanciful) notion close to my heart.
While describing how The Mound was created, the bystanders behind you have the most amusing, puzzled look on their faces. “Who is this guy” is all over their face🤣🤪
Having listened to a lot of Alexander McCall Smith audiobooks, some of which take place in Edinburgh, it’s great to get a more complete idea of places that are mentioned, and the city in general. I really appreciate you starting with the geology of the place! One nitpicks thing, though - when you describe the King’s Wall, you say it goes south, then west, then north, but on the map you show, it goes south, then east, not west 😅. Great video, though, thanks!
Both ideas for videos would be great, I'd watch em. When I think back to my one & only visit to Edinburgh in 2013 I missed a lot. I only really had a day and didn't have time for a wander round Princes Street Gardens. Oh well, I'll do it when I move there in 2026 🤞
Perhaps you could also nip into St John's Church at the West End of Princes Street to see the memorial to John Stuart Stuart-Forbes? He left Scotland under a cloud. He changed his name to John S Hiley, went to America and joined the 7th Cavalry, only to die with Custer at the Little Big Horn.
A wee guide round the gardens would be educational. Always wondered the history of rhe fountain and bandstand. Not forgetting the Scots monument. Glasgow would be another interest. Being from Ormiston Lothian originally, working down in Glasgow has had me see so many oddities with regards to buildings, that massive cemetery in the middle, the old tenements next to new buildings, Stow college, the main library buikding and its decorative carvings, what looks like a random building yet takes you down to the tube station. The old train stations. The Clyde and its many cranes dotted along its length. So many areas around the city that would be interesting to look into. Can't forget rhe Macintosh building back under construction.
I'm learning at least as much here as when I visited Edinburgh, mate. Keep on keepin' on. One person I can't seem to find enough about James V, especially as concerns the separation of history and folklore. I am fascinated in particular by the story of the Goodman of Ballengeich; he is mostly known for having a daughter he never saw, less for his many other bastard children or even his first wife. Might you do an episode about this sometime?
There was also a South Loch or Borough Loch where the very flat park known as The Meadows now lies just to the North of Bruntsfield Links, one of the places where golf was first played (possibly invented) after James IV ordered the deforestation of the Burgh Muir.
Interesting video at the start ah thought we were going to hear about the Gododdin and the Angles, and how they occupied Edinburgh castle rock before the Scots even got there, interesting none the less.
Bruce - How many history stories can you develop and present concerning the military units stationed in and museums housed within Edinburgh Castle? I visited several years ago and spent a week touring various areas of the castle and still don't believe I saw and covered it all.
Yep, do Glasgow's people. Not the usual but people like John MacLean or the women who led the 1915 rent strike. Both those stories resonate today. And the story of a lovely Irishman, author, poet and playwright, who made a difference where he settled, Freddie Anderson.
Our Apalachian mountains over here in the States still miss being wed to the Highlands. A rocky breakup, that!
😂💜

Yes, to both! Let's have a tour of the Edinburgh gardens & memorials. And do more videos about Glasgow!
Never expected a Hitchhiker's Guide reference in this video! 😀 Thanks, Bruce - for the laughs, and all the wonderful history.
Glad you enjoyed it
Id love for you to walk around and show us the monuments.
I’d also love for you to show us Glasgow.
One area that I feel gets overlooked is the Galway area. I’ve only been there once, to the Viking centre, but there seems to be some interesting stuff down there.
PS thanks for your work. Gives me a Scottish lifeline…. I live in Australia 🇦🇺
Galway is in Ireland not Scotland.
Think Galloway not Galway was ment, just a spelling error. Thats where the viking hoard was 👍

I love your idea about the monuments of Princes Street Gardens. Some of them are quite artistic as well as historical.
Thank-you. Loved to see a small part of the city this way. I would definitely like to see more of the whole city like this.
Would love a video on the gardens, and one on Glasgow on a Saturday night.
That was the easiest explanation of geology ever! I always want to see more! Glasgow, Edinburgh, just more Scotland 😍

I would love to see a video about the monuments. Of course anything about Glasgow would be welcome! It is the friendliest city by far!
Interesting, informative and entertaining.
Extremely interesting. Thank you.
Yes Bruce, I'd be happy with videos of both
I need to go through your videos and playlists to find more that mention the geology and pre-history. That would make a nice playlist
To be honest you won't find much on the geology side of things. Some pre history though
Do more on Glasgow, take us to where the Singer factory was and about the people who worked there
Another great video. I used to live near Haymarket and frequented Princes Street Gardens, especially in the summer. Love the Slartibartfast reference btw Bruce. Your clearly a hoopy frood who really knows where his towel is 😉🤣🤣🤣
😜
Bonus points for mentioning Slartibartfast and, as a resident of the auld toon (who grew up in Portobello) the notion of the odd diplodocus or two padding around on the shores of an equatorial Firth of Forth, with Arthur’s Seat and the Castle Rock putting on a volcanic firework display in the background to entertain American tourists, who had just arrived by dint of a fragment of their continent smashing into the North West of Scotland due to a slight quirk in the movement of tectonic plates, I will always hold this romantic (if slightly fanciful) notion close to my heart.
Excellent thanks - so interesting and brilliant presentation. I'd always wondered how the name the 'Mound' came about. Didn't realise its origins.
There ye go
Both suggestions are great !
Go ahead and tell us about the statues and memorials, Bruce! And add in soemthing about the railway and Waverley station. Thanks
