Sir James Douglas, William Wallace, Robert the Bruce and The Scottish Wars of Independence. The popular psyche has them all coming to a conclusion at the Battle of Bannockburn. Yet the Declaration of Arbroath and the Treaty of Edinburgh Northampton didn't come till years later. Scottish history tour guide Bruce Fummey talks about the end of the Scottish War of Independence.

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 of your from the US. So I've tried to give a bit of history, but some places of interest in Scotland as well.

LOVE this guy. went to Scotland recently and actually saw him in action. he's great!!
Aaah The Bruce!! As a boy I grew up with stories and songs of the great Scottish nobleman and King. Thanks dad for those inspiring tales. Thanks Bruce (Fummey) for these easily accessed historic links which I can study as a grown man, 7 decades later.
As a st ninians man myself, it's rare to see a site i see daily on such a educated channel. keep up the good work brother
I'm an American and I think I got the Robert the Bruce joke 😂 absolutely adore these videos
“Even Mel Gibson has limits” 😂😂😂
William Wallace cried with joy after Braveheart came out that Mel Gibson got me right historians are wrong.
Some of the best history videos I have seen. Be good to see you on History Hit and more mainstream tv shows.
That was a great video, very much enjoyed. I had an ancestor, the Earl of Ross (Hugh) that signed the declaration of Arbroath. I have often thought that the expat Scots in the colonies used it as a guide for our Declaration of Independence. Who knows for sure but there were many former Scots and Scottish descendants that had no love for the English. Thanks again Bruce.
Jefferson, Franklin and Adams borrowed a lot from the Declaration of Arbroath when writing the US Declaration of Independence. Two of the three noted studying Arbroath and using it as a guide in the correspondence with other members of the Continental Congress.
I've just come from your Irish videos (the colour-changing jacket is doing my head in) and landed in these about Robert the Bruce. This is one of your funniest.
I just found this channel and this is BRILLIANT! haven't laughed so hard in a while.
You deserve a lot more subscribers mate! Really enjoying your content 👍🏻
You share it and they'll come😎
A place to store the bucket. Laugh out loud funny! You, good sir, are priceless!!!!
😜
Really interesting stuff, and you have a great tone and talking pace for telling this stuff.
☺
Hello Story interesting.. here in Victoria Australia! a Town South West of Victoria.. called Camperdown. have a Once a Year in Memory for The Battle of Bannockburn.. Scottish everything for 3 Days.. I used to go every year. but things change.. I've always found History Amazing..
What time of year? I might be able to cover it next time I'm over
Yes Scotland history ..youed be a great narrator for any top TV channel. Good luck ☘
Really loving these videos
In a nutshell Bruce won because it was Edward the 2nd and not Edward the 1st,who confronted him.
That's certainly one narrative
Stirling bridge mate? What happens to yer Edward the 1st there
Scotland was considered 'Rome's Special Daughter' !!
I love the bit in the Dec of Arbroath where they write about 'if our King won't protect us from the English, we'll get ourselves a new King who will!!'
Thankyou for the Story!!
You're welcome
Thanks Bruce, In future, when I hear the name William Wallace. I'll think of that Bucket and piss myself laffing again for 10 minutes.. So funny I subscribed immediately :D
😂
Love the Videos Bruce. Im very much English but my familys line has been traced back to The Kerr clan. Love finding out the History of my forefathers country. Love Scotland and always feels like coming home when i come north of the border. Keto up the amazing work
Funny, informative video. Well done! Subscribed
I thank you sir
Good history. The BBC would not want someone with a Scots accent. Thanks. Bill Collins
😂
I love your videos. You taught me about some of my ancestors. Tapadh leat a charaid. Tha mi cho toilichte! 😊
Could you make a video about how Scotland is still part of Great Britain if we won our independence?
I believe, and I bow to Bruce's more specialist knowledge here, that the name Great Britain was instituted by James VI/I in 1604 following the Union of the Crowns in 1603 so I guess you could argue that the name was invented by a Scottish King and that Great Britain has always contained Scotland.
I have just watched this ,I thought it was brilliant,I had just yesterday researched the captivity of Mary Queen Of Scots,about a guy called Lowther, who tried to help her ,it's a bit of history I had not known about,,
Thank you. My next video on Saturday morning is on Mary
All the little comparisons to today are fantastic
Thanks for sharing; take care
Thank you too
Hi there Iv just found your channel and love it I wonder if youve any info on this, I'm from Falkirk and all my days when we used to go back and forward to Burntisland "as this was where my gran,Nora Hunter was from"for family days out when i was a kid about 30 years ago,we used to pass ruins just past Kincardine my mum used to say we were related to the black douglas and that the ruins were like his castle,I had no knowledge on the black douglas till like watching brave heart and robert the bruce documentaries,I was wandering if you have any idea how I could find out any info on this id love to find out the right story,thank you again for your excellent channel.
I'm not sure, certainly Aberdour was Douglas, as was Loch Leven but later than Sir James. The area you're talking about feels a bit more Bruce. Can't say for sure
History with a bit of snark and sarcasm... The only thing that is missing is a pint of Guinness and a wee dram. You have to be the best story teller on RUclips...save for Wolf Blitzer. If I could go back in time, I would have like to meet Rodger Mortimer, a most interesting man.
Quite interesting bit of heraldry on Piers Gaveston. I am still laughing. Nice job mate.
It's all true. I met Piers in a disco😁😎
I am loving these tales. If I had influence with the BBC your contract would be in the post.
Absolutely loved the, not too thinly, veiled comparisons to modern day politicians both sides of the border. Scots wa hae! Indeed.
I just laughed more in this video than I have in seeing the past 10 years of SNL “comedy skits”.
Ah brilliant
Love the humor! Also, What is the meaning of your farewell at the end of every video? Id love to know.
Well Chad what I always do is make people go to my store. There are T-shirts and mugs with the signoff on. Each sales page has a translation. Now you might not buy anything today, but who knows you might come back some time www.scotlandhistorytours.co.uk/shop See what I did there?😜
@@ScotlandHistoryTours quite the bit of marketing you've got there. :)
You love your subject, don’t you Bruce? So much knowledge and passion from someone who purports not to be a historian 🌞
I do find it fun
@@ScotlandHistoryTours 😊🌞
Even after the battle they wouldn't it takes an Irish campaign, harrying the Declaration of Arbroath
Wis that oor wullys bucket , he takes a good bucket fu . Seriously good video 👍👍👍
😂😂
Now Jack Bruce certainly did stir things up. Especially when Ginger Baker would go mental on him
Heh! Bruce looks exactly like those Jamaicans of Scots descent in Manchester and St. Elizabeth like the Meikles Blairs McNaughtons and Buchanans among others. Keep up the good work!
My Canadian ears love the line "Sperim ina bukkit". Nice one Bruce.
Robert De Bruce and Isabella of Mar, Countess of Carrick are my 20th great grandparents, I also live in America.
"Even Mel Gibson has his limits." Are you sure?
The story of this land is confusing and that's maybe why so may people think the way they do. Throughout these times there are many times when French influence or interference comes into play. Your videos should be part of the school corriculum, informative and well put together. I'm still trying to figure out the family trees.
On your video of Robert the Bricw vs Braveheart...I admire them both tremendously.. I have some good Scottish roots, but maybe Wallace sould be my favorite bc he was fighting for freedom from British oppression and brutality early. But both men laid their lives on the battlefield for what they believed. Love em both. LOVE your videos
'English' oppression please
Very powerful video. Helps to put somewhat in, perspective some of the undertones to Scotland's century's long quest for independence.
I am very new to your channel. And I'm enjoying your take on history, a great deal. My grandfather was Scottish. And I am incredibly proud of that heritage. One small question, though. Aren't you people supposed to speak English?... LOL
Truly though, I am enjoying your channel
Marvellous stuff as per certainly Bruce's biggest mistake not dealing with "The Disinherited" , after marrying Lulu that is
Would have been quite a bucket. Maybe a cryogenic bucket? But wait. That was invented yet. Great video
You know what's nice. I'd forgotten that stupid joke and got a wee bit of conceited pleasure out of enjoying it again.
"We're bought and sold for English gold-Such a parcel of rogues in a nation,"Robbie Burns. What was HE taking about Bruce?
Poem & Song- Parcel of Rogues in a nation.
No, he was describing the Scots nobles who voted for the union of the parliaments that created the United Kingdom. The Scottish nobles had been bankrupted by the failure of the Darien Scheme, (which failed, in part at least, because of English interference as well as other accidents and incidents). Being bankrupt left those lords wide open to English corruption and England coveted Scotland and its wealth to pay for their expensive wars in France, etc. The Lords were therefore bribed and voted for the union, a deeply unpopular decision in the wider Scotland. The ordinary Scots rioted and protested the length and breadth of the country. Militias had to be raised and the Riot Act was read out a number of times before peace was restored. Those lords were described by Rabbie Burns as 'sic a parcel o' rogues in a nation.'
You're a fantastic Story Teller! Are you a Bard? You should be!
😂You're very kind Old Man
Very much enjoy Your videos mahalo! Our Hawaiian clan Is very proud of our Scottish history Unfortunately As Science increases Regarding Genealogy generics anthropology we may be More danish and English then Scottish what a Bummers
hope that those statues will never be replaced by saladin
If you have some spare time, can you do a video on Simon the fox. Being a Simpson as you will know comes from the Lovat side of the fraser. I would love to learn more about the fox himself.
Be interesting if you went to Byland, Myton etc, places deep in heart of England where Bruce, Douglas etc wrought havoc?
Aye, a bit of travel right enough
@@ScotlandHistoryTours bet they said same 700 years ago lol
I just discovered, through a long travel back in time, that Robert the Bruce is my 23rd Great Granddad with 12 Female ancestors and 11 male to form the connection. Nothing can be straight going that far back but I found an interesting very old pedigree of an ancestor that drew the line. It was a Royal pedigree of Lord Alexander Forbes 6th Laird of Tolquhoun in Aberdeenshire. I have no certainty of how correct it actually is but until someone can point out discrepancies, I'm sticking to it.
Would love a video on Sir James Douglas. A Douglas!
I know. I must get round to it
@@ScotlandHistoryTours Your videos are great. My grandfather was from Scotland. Love the history and heritage.
The good sir James, the biggest bad arse in europe
He's my cousin I'd get hyped for that vid
Wasn't it Scottish peasants led by Normans fighting English peasants led by Normans?
Nearly
Good Normans Bruce against bad ones Longshanks.
Braveheart a haigography of William Wallace and the Battle of Stirling Falkirk and Bannockburn
If I'm not mistaken. Sir John deGraeme is buried in Stirling and his statue stands looking at his friend William Wallace. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks 😊
Watch the video for my answer
How about a story on the bucket? Sounds interesting!
😆😅😂🤣 Aye that's one for a future video. Maybe one for Time Team right enough
There is a Norse word for a bucket. It has left a name on one hill top that I know of in Scotland- Dun Caan, there may be others. Sorry it's not aboot Oor Wullie.
The bucket at the Wallace monument is only a pail imitation.
Oooft
@@ScotlandHistoryTours Thank you sir!
A lot of comparisons are true today. Edward 2 was not a good soldier and not a good King, he was destined to lose. I have been to Bannockburn and to Stirling Castle and to The Wallace Monument, History has so many twists and turns, so many wasted moments, so many different opinions, but it’s still great.
Sir Thomas Randolfs schiltrom stops the relief of Stirling Castle at the pelstream a rumour it was the Templars who came thundering round that knoll hmmmmm
OOOH! He died an Awful Death..Urrff!
Dear Bruce, thought the Bruce And his army were excommunicated for their campaign of Ireland!
I didn't get the joke, but I did know about Isabella & Roger Mortimer.
Don't worry some jokes are more local than others
That is a giant prophylactic to store the bucket in!
😜
"It was nothing like today!" 🤣🤣🤣
😜
You should write a series of books!!! I would buy on kindle!!!
Aye, maybe one day
Wait a minute, what's a Bruce? And why is Robert one of them?
Wifey said, your not going😂
Still paying in even though you supposedly left does sound familiar.
Every gym membership I've ever had😂
Those who say Americans won't get the joke at 2:28 are right. I didn't need subtitles. I just don't get the reference.
I know, it's our politics
Not the joke Bruce got the joke
Audition Tape!!! 😂
😘😜
Declaration of Arbroath?
Three smokies for a fiver?😂
@@ScotlandHistoryTours still drinking and don't smoke. Enjoyed the black watch video thou.
@@ScotlandHistoryTours you broke, need a pack of smokes?
Sorry, I should have remembered this was an international audience. The Smokies joke was a very Scottish thing, based on the smoked fish you get in Arbroath
@@ScotlandHistoryTours should you say sorry? I got the joke. I respect your effort of explaining history is oversimplified, at least in America.But anyway, tip the hat,
1320 Sovereign , FREEDOM
"Most Holy Father, we know and from the chronicles and books of the ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has been graced with widespread renown. It journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage peoples, but nowhere could it be subdued by any people, however barbarous. Thence it came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to its home in the west where it still lives today."
No
So the Battle was only half the war
Nic the Bruce
Did Robert the Bruce not really want to rule Scotland, England and Ireland ? If so, it would be a myth that he did it for Scottish independence.
If only we had a DeLorean
@@ScotlandHistoryTours sorry, think I answered my own question. I like your videos though.
We'd be able to go back in time and find out what he really wanted
@@ScotlandHistoryTours well there is one woman wants to be Queen only of Scotland and we know who she is.
5:47
This man travels far fast lol
Bruce, was Edward II the one who was murdered with a red hot poker up his jacksie
So they say, but...
Some will believe the story of the monument.
😜
I’m American - and still don’t get the joke, but I know there’s one in there😉
Wee Jimmy crankie
So everything has to be approved by the old Roman Mafia.
No similarity to the present situation at all [sarcastic eye-roll and grin]
🙄😜
1:19 If Northern England is racist, then why is their favourite 14th century knight the Black Prince?
Nuff said.
Ffs 🤦🏻♂️
Sas at it again
@@TheVanpablo79 ?
Even Mel Gibson has his limits
still to find them though
Interesting vid. To get a job at the BBC, just tell fairy stories, they love that.
[Independence Question] Settled for a Generation ..but back 5 years later 🤣
Them's the rules
So Robert the Bruce got right with God after the treaty ...but then gives his heart to the Black Douglas ?
Some Scots in Scotland still happy with English overlordship, still continues. : (
True
Yes, completely different to today's talk of independence 🤣🤣🤣
Americans might not get the joke.
Some people get kranky in times like that.
🙄
I wouldn’t be bigging up the krankies. It’s a dodgy story 😉
The answer is NO.
You have bleed with Wallace... Now bleed with me 😉Robert De bruce
Keep working on the BBC job, Bruce. You have what many comedians turned actor have........timing! Think Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams etc!! Where did they learn their craft??
Worth it just for the Krankies jibe.
