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.

Tell us more! This story is too good to end here!
Aye, let's see how many folk think so 😜
@@ScotlandHistoryToursYou have me hooked, Laddie! It's only been two hours since this came out. There will be more wanting to hear this. That and I'm going to look for the book!
We really need to know what happened next!
We want more story! 🖤
Total Cliffhanger! 😅
Lets hear the rest
This story hits home my 6th Great Grandfather
Was snatched off families lands . Next to the river Tweed on border with England. He was taken by the English and put a ship to Virginia in the colonies at the time. Sold into servitude he was 14 .it took 3 generations for my family to be free from servitude
@homie3461Good question!
@homie3461 Because indentured servants weren't considered property like slaves. So while a plantation owner would give his slaves the things they need to survive. The indentured servants were charged for these items. Food clothing shelter were all charged for by adding time to the servitude. Getting married and having children also added time if the wife was also a servant then the children were born into servitude and simple by being born they were indentured servants and would owe decades. By the time they were old enough to work in the tobacco fields
@homie3461 No my ancestors were taken prisoner by the English they were put on a prisoner ship and sent to the colonies and sold exactly the same as African slaves were. The only difference is the law didn't allow Christians to be considered property. So while a plantation owner would take care of his property ( African slaves) the Scottish people who were forced to be servants were not treated the same. The price of a African slave was often 3 or 4 times more than what was paid for the jacobite prisoners of war . My ancestors had their own lands in Scotland with a family abbey on the river Tweed border between Scotland and England. The killed most of my ancestors took the rest prisoner and sold them to rich plantation owners here in colonies. There never was contract They were only labeled indentured because they Christians and couldn't be called what they were slaves
One would be very surprised about that branch of the family tree. Thank you for sharing cheers from BC canada
@homie3461 look it up rere why I or anyone lie about something like that
The clan Rutherford on the river Tweed
I am 💯% up for hearing about Peter Williamson's revenge against those who kidnapped him.
I’d like to hear more about Peter’s revenge. Pretty please.
Agreed! We must hear of their "comeuppance" to be sure!
@@jamesbradleysears7188 The promised follow up is now on RUclips - and it’s another great video
As an American Williamson of Scottish descent, I’d love to hear more about this fellow. Your storytelling is superb!
are you a descendant of WILL.I.AM.?
🤣@@pjmoseley243
I would very much like to hear the rest of Peter's story. Thank you.
If a thousand people told you that they didn't want to hear more stories from you, would that stop you?
You are a storyteller so just keep doing what you do.
I look forward to hearing more from you.
Won't you please, please tell me...
Bruce! I'd love to hear what happened to Indian Peter. You have such a talent for telling intriguing stories about old Scotland. Don't leave us hanging too long!
Come on lads. Give this man a couple of quids! He needs to get to Aberdeen already!
You can't just stop there, when there's more to be told. Hope to see the story continue.
I'm a Rabbi and a big fan of this man, bringing life to Scotland.
Rabbi, I Love you Sir 🏴
What's your surname, Burns?
@@haraldtheyounger5504 “ a pith o’ sense, an Pride o’ worth” is it that Rabbi You 🫵 are meaning
Scotland has life! Always had Always will.
@@haraldtheyounger5504not many people know that one. It would appear it's been buried, along with the fact Indian Peter was actually a local Aberdeen boy which was one of the reasons his story was so popular
I am simple elf, I see Bruce post, I click. Great story telling as always Bruce. Thankings from the Clacks area, from a Stirling girl.
Keep clicking elf girl😜
@@ScotlandHistoryToursdon't forget us black Irish...😅😅
Of course we want to hear the rest of Indian Peter's story!!!
Let's see how the day goes😜
@@ScotlandHistoryToursintriguing...
That was brilliant I love hearing about the lesser well known people of Scotland but those times were horrific the things it's still happening across the world
A fantastic story an a cliff hanger! Yes, don't leave us hanging! Tell us more!!!!
Tell us more, please. Your stories are wonderful.
I would absolutely love to hear more about this story...I honestly couldn't begin to imagine what Peter's parents felt never knowing what happened to their son..it's heartbreaking 💔...god bless 🙏 🙏
A sad tale indeed...
Very interesting video, Bruce. Looking forward to part 2! 😁
Thanks 👍

Yes more story sir!
Talk about cliff hangers 😂 of course I want more on Indian Pete

As a Wiiliamson, I’d love to hear more about Peter please.
...and if your name was Jamieson?
@@ScotlandHistoryTours yeah but no but 😂
I want to hear the rest of the Indian Peter story, please.
More please 🙏🏻
What?! The Natives captured slaves in raids? Children were kidnapped from the streets of Scotland and sold into servitude in the Americas? The French deported people from Canada? You’re blowing my American mind once again there Bruce! Love it. Absolutely love it. More about the life of “Indian Pete” please!
Double-up to this boys aspirations and also to his masters sense of justice and mercy. Sometimes happens, even now.
I'm from Aberdeen and I have never heard this story! Extraordinary and cruel story. I'd love to hear more. It would make a great movie.
Loved that Bruce! Pretty please tell us the rest of the story!!!
more of the story😀
I would love to hear more about Indian Peter. I had ancestors on the same frontier at the same time.
I’d love to hear the rest of the story!
You shall go to the ball
I’m a native of Ohio. I’m a third Scots. I’ve visited Scotland a few times, even driving in the highlands for a week. Thank you for this lesson.
I want to hear the rest of Indian Peter
Bruce, I thought this was going to be your autobiography. 😉 Thanks for the story. 👍
We must hear the conclusion of this awesome story! Thanks for sharing your work with us.
Please tell us more about Indian Peter!
This is a wonderful story. I've family in Aberdeenshire and Angus. I have never heard this guy now I'm curious. I like your channel.
Yes we definitely want to know more about this incredible story. You never fail to Wow us, Bruce! I grew up in Pennsylvania, the descendant of a long line of Scots and Scots Irish both. There’s an interesting Fort in Pennsylvania named after my maternal grandmother’s family “Fort MCCord” in which the inhabitants, save a few, were massacred or taken hostage by Indians during The French Indian Wars and at the site of the ruins and cemetery stands a memorial monument with the Scottish Thistle on it. Been there a few times, interesting history, dark times. Cape May is one of my old haunts too...when I’m not traveling back to Scotland!
Seeing you next to various locations in Aberdeen, gives me fond memories of living there in the early 80s - Prince of Wales Pub I went to several 100 times : )
Aye part of the videos is exactly that nostaligia for fowk
@@ScotlandHistoryTours You tell stories well min 👍
@@ScotlandHistoryToursyes ..the granite city...more please..😊😊
Come on Bruce, you've got us hooked. When's Part 2?
Please tell me more. I'd like to hear how Peter got his revenge.
yes please continiue this story 🫵👍
What a story. Who wouldn't want to hear the rest of it? Looking forward.
More of the story please 🙏
You've gotta Tell us!! Can't leave us hanging. Indian Pete - an amazing character. sincerely hope he gets his Revenge.
Another incredible forgotten Scot I'd like to see a video on would be Michael Scott (1175-1232) the mathematician/astronomer/linguist/wizard and only Scot featured in Dantes Inferno.
Can't believe that! There must have been lots more Scotsmen who made it down to Hell even back then! 😱😈😜
Now THAT'S a cliffhanger. I can only dream of the sweet, cold revenge brewing.
I looked this up after your last video on the character Indian Peter. Really fascinating and quite heartbreaking tale.
This would make a brilliant film!
Yes, more about 'Indian Peter', please. Thank You.
I knew who you were talking about as soon as you started. I read Indian Peter some years ago. The rest of this amazing man’s story deserves to be told.
Ah, yet another blinder by yourself Bruce. Thank you for a brill video!
thank you my friend
We want more Mr Fummey!! We NEED it! 🖤
Yes please please please!
Scotland looks at its beautiful best when the weather is pisch. Thank you for the wonderful story.
We want to hear more about Indian Peter, please! We love you, Bruce. 😊😊😊
Some of my relatives were taken from Aberdeen to Philadelphia against their will in the same time period.
The stories passed on indicate that they weren't well received there, and while some settled, others struck out northwest, encountering friendly Indigenous people who assisted them in getting to Ontario. Settling on the north shore of Lake Huron, some stayed, while others moved on toward Winnipeg. Still others retraced their steps south to the Toronto area, and some returned to Aberdeen, others to France.
Among those who arrived back in Aberdeen, some of the party were said to be full blooded Indigenous (possibly Mohawk or Wyandot). Neither the Scots nor the Indigenous people of that party would be easy to identify. Differences in appearance or habit was apparently explained away by saying that different looking people were "from Peterhead" (or some other place) which was far enough away that no one was going to check.
There are several people in the family tree whose details are incomplete, which wasn't uncommon at the time, but also may have been intentionally obscured. It might never be possible to confirm any of this (except that the trail of DNA does in part support it), but it is interesting to know that true or not, there were very definitely people who experienced similar events.
Tell us more laddie! I’ve learned so much from you and your “stories”…
Oh, go on Bruce - just tell us the rest of the story - it's a given episode ... I'm also getting tired of hitting the thumbs up below! :)
An amazing story, can't wait to hear more !!
Yes Bruce I wanna hear the rest of the story about Indian Peter! Ya can't tell just ½ a story, ya know... Ya ken I mean lol🏴
😂😂
You can't stop now, please continue with the next bit

I love listening to your “stories”, and look forward to them every Saturday morning. Please finish the story of Indian Peter.
Excellent as usual.. lets hear ALL the story! Please!
Your videos often bring fascinating history I struggle to find elsewheres :) It is much appreciated, Mr. Fummey and team! Thank you once again from this person. One thing that I appreciate about your stories, amongst the myriad of great facets in your tellings, is that you make brief but poignant pauses to point out how other people may have fared. I feel like this makes your history feel much more complete than other recantings one might find in popular books or classrooms. Edit: PLEASE TELL US THE INDIAN PETER STORY, BRUCE! Please!
Excellent once again , it would be most interesting to hear more about this part of our history.
Yeah, I'd like to hear more please.
Fort Le Beouf is just north of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania near Lake Erie.
So love your brogue. My great grandfather was from Lanarkshire area before he moved here to western Pennsylvania. I wish I could have known him.
Of course, I want to hear the rest of the story. Thanks for all your entertaining and historical talks.
Oh yes please! This is a very interesting tale and you tell it so well!
Continue the story, please. It’s too good not to go to the end of the story. Love your stories of the land of my ancestors.
Best ever cliffhanger.
Definitely worth a Ko-fi (or even a couple of pints of beer next week).
Excellent.
I'm hooked! I've heard of Indian Peter in a brief historical paragraph somewhere, and here you tell the story. More please! It seems that you can't keep a good man down! Looking forward to the rest of this amazing saga. Peter rocks!
What an extraordinary story! Please do tell the rest of it!
Love the history stories. Keep them coming
