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.

I have the Wallace name, and had an uncle named William who we called Bill. Yes we’re Americans, and I thank you for enlightening me on the difference between being part of a clan, and having the name. My dad did a genealogy on the Wallace side, which led to family in Cambridge around 1272. However “our” Wallace family in America can be traced to Jamestown, Virginia in the 1630’s. So our side has been in America for very long time. I love history, and love how you present it in your videos. Thank you!

My father's first name was Wallace. I'm glad they didn't name me that, but I still grew to be a wally. I didn't know about the connection with Nobel but I used to like the smell of burnt cordite when I was in the army. A bit like that film buts that's napalm. I was in the artillery, so I've swallowed more than my share of gunsmoke. Have a good successful tour of Canada, Bruce.

Would really love to see you do a video on Clan MacTavish. They are one of the oldest clans and have a very interesting history including a 200 year dormancy and a recent revival. The Campbells of Argyll did their best to absorb them and even had the Crinan Canal built through their lands to cripple them after they fought in the '45 uprising

In case you didn't know it, Scotsmen have had a great influence on the city where I was born, Gothenburg. Names like Carnegie and Keiller are all over town, and even the way we say our R:s is said to have come from Scottish influences. If you're ever in Sweden do give the city a visit. /Carl

Can confirm this. My father grew up around Clyde bank before moving to Australia in the 60s, he told me we were part of clan douglas. I researched the clan and found a douglas branch was set up in Sweden when they chose to stay after receiving land and title from the sweedish crown for fighting in Poland. From there some Swedish clan members had spread out to serve in the Reich in Germany and even ended up in Russia as POW and serving Russia in Finland when it was under the Russian empire.

My Snodgrass ancestors could be found in the Parish of Dreghorn about 1700. Several generations later, Niel's eyes were too weak to study law, so devoted himself to agriculture. "He enjoyed the acquaintance of the Earl of Eglington, who did much for the improvement of Ayrshire." A couple generations later, David Snodgrass inherited the Buchanans estate, but he promised to accept the Buchanan name, motto & crest. In 1747, John Snodgrass built a mansion (the carriage house is still standing) about 3 miles NE of Irvine. It would have been the most elegant mansion of the time. It occupies a considerable eminence on the lefthand bank of the Annick.

In the Duke of Argyll census of his lands there are names that have vanished MacUolrie and variants on Tyree, try Googling that. Possibly these were Kennedy. Also Sinclair in Argyll appears to have replaced MacNokaird for some reason. Apart from making Ancestry research almost impossible past the early 18th century it would be interesting to know what triggered a mass name change and if it happened outside Argyll

Then Robert Samson Park moved from Scotland with his 11 kids after his wife died (I'm assuming here uterus fell out) to Alabama in the U.S. in 1877 because of the coal mining and got remarried to a Cherokee woman.

Bruce, this info was awesome. We both have ancestral lines that go back to Dreghorn! We're going there in Sept, and to the marine museum in Irvine. I didn't know Wallace was connected to that area. Cool. (And Elvis went to the moon ... I had no idea!) Your videos are wonderful. Thank you.

We lived in Stewarton a while back. One day trip to Irvine we saw a headless dog on the beach! And an old puffer..

Interesting looks like your history of Scotland math referenced did what the wealthy Scottish caste system and the English couldn’t do; wiped the McGregors off the map. Great and informative video.👍

I'm led to believe the original Royal Charter for Irvine was granted in 1152 but was lost with 99% of Scotland's ancient charters in a ship wreck off the north east coast of England in 1260 after gaining back independence from England and demanded the return of Scotland's ancient charters after being taken to London. The 1372 charter was a reinstatement of the original. Have you spoken to the Irvine Carter's Society? Im sure you'll know their the oldest carter society in the world going back a thousand years.
