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.

When my uncle Charlie Weir was shot down over France in May 1944, he used Gaelic that he had learnt at Musselburgh Grammar School when he was stopped by a German Soldier en route to Freteval Forest. He said that it was the only non English language he knew, and the German couldn't understand him so he just motioned for him to move on. He was 19 at the time, he made it to the forest and was liberated by the Americans in August 44. His life saved by knowing Gaelic.

A'reyt Bruce. Great Scots! A tale of cossacks from near the Trossachs! I had an uncle that had his teeth knocked out by an Italian rifle butt on recapture in Italy, having been taken prisoner attacking behind the lines in North Africa. He later got away from German captivity in a Silesian POW coal mine, through the eastern front to a Turkish ship in Odessa. A Polish work colleague pointed out that another colleague's dad had been made to march to Germany from Silesia, but my uncle was back in UK for VE day. He met some celebrating Italian POWs and a disagreement led to them getting hurt, apparently. As a result, I am told he was not demobilised, but made an MP and sent to look after Nasties in Nuremberg. Tell the kids today ...

I'd heard a very much cut-down version of that story, in which there were just two highlanders. I didn't realise that the Germans had a Polish speaker among their interpreters, because that was really cutting it close to the bone. Ukrainian and Polish may not be wholly mutually comprehensible but there is a fairly large shared vocabulary (even if there is also a significant number of 'false friends' within that shared vocabulary). Nor did I realise that the three highlanders were captured a second time and that they'd claimed a different nationality again. That story totally needs to be made into a film, I am only surprised that it hasn't been to date.

Scotland housed many of my countrymen during WW2. Even the famous guys from Operation Gunnerside from Kompani Linge. They executed one of the best commando raids in WW2 and they wanted no other place than Scotland to train for their future missions behind enemy lines. Arisaig House, Inverailort became a Commando training school. Many other country houses in the area were requisitioned to provide accommodation and training facilities for the men and women who were to serve in the Special Operations Executive. Reading about their training and exercises they were glad that the Scots were such gracious and overbearing hosts.
