Another gem from the master of Scottish history. Salutations from an Englishman

I found this guy literally this morning and I'm hooked. Love the stories!

I'm African American and I love Scottish people

Im running our of adjectives to describe how much I enjoy your musings. Keep keeping up the good work Bruce 🌞

This was definitely something that you don't get in school. Excellent job Bruce

As an Aussie fella who found his soulmate in a Scottish lass, who sadly lost her battle with cancer 2yrs ago at the young age of 56, and having been back in Scotland earlier this year for her posthumous Album launch. I love your history of Scotland videos as it gives me a little piece of her back in the stories of her ancestors. Also as a descendant of Convicts and First Nations people, I have hopes always of Scottish independence. All the best on your gigs and especially your Montreal comedy festival gigs, you should do the Melbourne Comedy Festival next, I would definitely be there.

The title piqued my interest as soon as I saw it. Brilliant as always, Bruce!

Well done 👍 Bruce you're channel I so good you should be on the tv. Well done 👍. From Elgin Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I think you’d love northeast Nova Scotia. You’d even get lots of new video material. I’d recommend coming in the summer, it’s the best weather and we’ll have the Antigonish Highland Games (oldest outside of Scotland) and the Broad Cove Scottish Concert. We also have Glenora whiskey distillery, Gaelic road signs, Celtic Music Interpretive Centre, Gaelic College and re-constructed Highland Village. You’ll also want to check out the beaches and hikes and Indigenous and French cultural sites - they’re not to be missed!

Bruce is the man!

I love listening to these history lessons. I do have a hard time wrapping my head around the time frames, as I am an American. About when these events were happening in Europe, the only Europeans on North American soil were Vikings. From where I live on the west coast of the USA, that's over 4200 miles from my doorstep.

Bruce, great story. I'd love it if you'd bring your standup show to Fayetteville NC, North Carolina is full of Scots, so I'm sure you'd get a good turn out...🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇲

Hi from Alloa, only about eight miles from the Islamic Centre. I used to be a tour guide and I love your videos. You always approach a subject from such a thought provoking angle, and you explain the convoluted history of our wee nation with such skill as a storyteller. Love it😊

Another bari film Bruce. Come to East Lothian with yer show next time (Haddington preferably, the toun of Scotland's longest siege). The Galashiels gig was fantastic

ah alnwick- Northumberland as it is now. land of my father. Dead now 3 years I miss him. Newcastle I wish I could be there x

It's not Richard 1st, (England was merely his piggy bank), he only spent about 6 months of his entire reign actually in England. They're dressing up as St.George. Though it's reasonable to assume St.George never went anywhere England & he certainly never wore the armour he's often depicted wearing, probably being a Roman legionary. He became England's patron St. after Eddie III made him the patron St. of the "Most Noble Order of The Garter".

I come from Henley, twinned with Falaise and the local TA distinguished themselves there. I live near Lesparre Aquitaine, where Richard was born. The local nobility fought on the English side in the Hundred Years War. Family connections I suppose. Their castle is still there. But due to joining the navy, all my kids speak Glaswegian. I was at Faslane, it's a long story.

Another little gem I was unaware off. You learn something every day.

Here's the list of shows www.brucefummey.co.uk/shows.aspx

Good story Bruce. Would love to catch your show over here on the "wet coast" of Canada 🇨🇦. Vancouver or even closer would be Whistler (good ski resort). We'll share a wee dram if you like!

Another well delivered lesson. Thank you Mr Fummey. I’m going to check out your Canadian dates. Maybe it’s time to visit family and catch your show live as a bonus! 😁

If you're coming to Canada, you'll find Eastern and Central Ontario to have the most-dense population of Scots outside of Nova Scotia. Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry County, Lennox and Addington County, Lanark County, Hastings County, Haliburton County, Bruce County, Grey County.... Even Montreal has a good number of Scots descendants. You'll probably also find Windsor, Ontario to get a good turnout as you can pull from Detroit as well. A few Highland Games happen in that area each year

I’m too poor to go out lol, but Little River Casino & Resort (Manistee, Michigan) or Turtle Creek Casino & Resort (Traverse City, Michigan) are both excellent places to perform at. On a personal note, the tribes are quite wonderful to work with. Since you’re in Canada, Michigan could be a close trip.

Great video 👍...Time for Scottish independence...Saor Alba

Seeing your latest videos is part of my Saturday routine. Always top shelf! Looking forward to seeing your Canadian itinerary. Toronto or Montreal are definite possibilities.

Wow!!! Bruce and Crew, That was good. Thanks!

Absolutely love your videos. So much to learn! Should you come to Toronto I'll do my best to get the whole transplanted lot of us McKinlays to attend the show. All the best!

There’s “Moor” to this Story than meets the Eye 😉

Well done Bruce, you got me with the title on this one lol, it sure was an interesting way to look at it. But I guess in his own way Saladin was a Scottish hero 😂. Until next weekend be safe & God bless.

A'reyt Bruce. Welcome back to England. I commented before that you would see not see me in a Rugby Union shirt. Two Scottish student team players, in their representative shirts took exception to my English Rugby League shirt in Flagstaff, Arizona, on Route 66. I stood my ground and finished my bottle of Samuel Smiths Yorkshire bitter that the bar sold. I did decide to leave when their seven foot native American pal took sides, not staying long enough to ask if he was a Muslim. I had seen too many cowboy films as a kid, where the outnumbered were scalped. Since you are over the border, I will take the chance to mention Catherine Warr channel showing the first Western film was made in Lancashire. You might also enjoy her video showing how the book War of the Worlds was about colonialism? I never was so keen on Jerusalem as an English anthem, as it seemed a relic of those times and I grew up among the dark satanic mills. Land of Hope and Glory seemed a better anthem and a more timeless song. Plus, I never felt the need to shout about England in the song. It is in English, that will do.

As a person of Scottish descent i love your commentary on Scottish history

Politics played a role in the defeat of the Christians. The king of Jerusalem wanted to wait till the Muslims came to him but he was afraid of being deposed or killed as he was accused of cowardice for not marching out to them.

Excellent video Bruce, and thanks for your show in Stirling (not Bridge of Allan! :) ) last night!

I think I've mentioned Pictou Nova Scotia before. "The Birthplace of New Scotland" has a preforming arts centre.

If you are coming across the pond to Canada, Minnesota is just south of the border and we would love to see you come down to the Cedar Cultural Center in Mpls. Your compatriots, The Tannahill Weavers come and play concerts of the great old Scottish songs and tunes there for us.

Is there any chance you will come to Vancouver? We have a Fringe Festival here, but there might be other performance possibilities, such as the BC Highland Games. If word gets out, there will likely be a bunch of kilties present.

I stand in awe of the truth. How wonderful. Truly, as some people else already said, a master of history!

If I knew you were in Alnwick I'd have bought you a coffee. Really interesting to hear history that's both about my heritage and also where I live!

I wonder, would you ever consider coming to Boston, Massachusetts? You'd be very welcome here. Thank you for this video!

I love your channel. I have lurned so much about Scottish history and this particular video suprised me because I wouldn't have ever known the connection between Muslims and Scotland. Thank you for doing what you do.

Thanks Bruce for sharing your knowledge online for the like of me to learn from .. you should be on mainstream tv bud .. subscribed from Coatbrig’

When you're in Canada, please feel free to swing through Ottawa (couple good comedy clubs, natural beauty, shawarma)!!!

A great historical example of how events in another part of the world can effect where you are. Any chance you'll be bringing your show to the US?

Brilliant vlog by the way Big Man, if you ever came to Birmingham with your comedy show, i'd be there. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Bruce ❤ always Enjoy hearing a story from you. Cheers

Great show, a jewel of RU-vid.

Wonderful commentary Succinctly on point While still inviting the listener to do just a bit more research... It's my pleasure to listen & learn

Graaet vid as always Bruce. Any chance of bringing the show to Salt Lake City Utah?

Sad to say the Motherwell gig has been cancelled thanks to RAAC. Was so looking forward to seeing you live. 😢

Great show in the " candle" shop. Hope you enjoyed your "tea" there the day after.

A tribe from Siberia sacked the Vikings from Greenland during a Crusade military evacuation.

Great Presentation again Bruce! Putting it that way, if Genkis Kahn hadn’t attacked the Muslim armies from the east, we might not have been celebrating Christmas every year!?

You spin such a great yarn, in the classic sense. You could tell these stories over a pint of an evening

Hi bruce think your channel is epic was wondering do you do podcast on the Scottish history and if so how can i access the podcast??

One more great video, keep them coming my friend.

One of the lecturer's I've listened to! KD

Really enjoy your videos. I recently took a DNA test and found I'm related to several clans. I'm a Cairns and I'm related to the Burnett, Stafford, Percy and other clans. Quite fascinating.

Well if you’re going to be in Canada, few hundred miles south is Raleigh North Carolina. I’d really like for you to do a show there.

Absolutely love your videos.

Great storytelling. Thanks!

I swear love this channel reminds of being at history class at school ❤

I understand - could it have been from you, Bruce? - that Doncaster is technically still part of Scotland ... What are the chances of you bringing your show to the Cast Theatre there? It's only 8 miles down the road from me! Brian, Goldthorpe, S Yorks.

Brilliant. How about doing one about Freemasonry, which started in Scotland and is now worldwide?

The relationship between Israil and Saudi is interesting. To me it looks like two brothers whom wanted to know who their real friends and enemies are. So they tell everyone thay hate each other. They can't stand each other. They would like to kill each other. (The really love and depend on each other) However, now everyone who hates one brothet will migrate to the other brother with their complaints. and. Visa versa. Also they can even get what's been denied them by a enemy through the other brother. Middle Eastern people have thousands and thousands of years of experience in politics. Their not easy to outsmart.

3:12 Random but, as im a big sensory seeker i spend a lot of time compared to most childless adults in parks... And not once have i ever seen a kid with a little jeep or lil tikes car or anythin at all similar to the kids cars shown here; like, i think USA parents overwhelmingly just dont take those things out to a park trip, even when theyre goin to a rly nice park Ive seen them at beaches and campgrounds, but just not parks. And now im sad that i dont see them more, it makes so much sense to bring to a park; esp moreso if its a park without a playground that is more open fields for sportsball games and other activities (no doubt some parents do do this (hehe, i said doodoo), but just sayin ive not seen it so it seems to me like a very rare occurrence; wud love to know of anywhere else its more common, even if USA too. This is a huge country of differin opinions on everythin culturally; so dont doubt thats likely)

That was fascinating. Love to see you come to Kilmarnock or Irvine. I'd be there

As the saying gos , The Enemy of my Enemy is my friend….

Omfg how did I miss these tickets in my home town of newcastle

It is also interesting that the Algerian Muslims played a very important role in the Irish Belmont Revolt, when they attacked the English forces settled there and released the persecuted Irish, which paved the way for the revolution and to this day the Irish sing the song “The Algerian became Lord Belmont.” It is beautiful to see solidarity between peoples, even if they are separated by seas and oceans.

Superb as usual Bruce

Nice one Bruce! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙 some might say we are in exactly the same place at the moment as we were back then with the Treaty of Falaise. Hopefully Humza Yousaf will be our new saviour.

Very interesting Bruce!

Saladin, for his part, became praised by minstrels throughout Europe for his chivalry and munificence. He became the main argument to remind a stingy earl that you needn't be a Christian to spend some extra money on minstrels.

... just a thought for an interesting future presentation perhaps, Bruce: The 'Sobieski-Stuart' boys and the 'tartan scheme' they'd come up with - around the time George IV made his pompous presence known in Edinburgh when he showed up arrayed in tartan-clad highland attire. ... the creation of a sensational 'fad' perhaps🤔 Had they not both made a mint for themselves off the back of it all...?🤣 (thought there'd be none better to cover it, is all...) 😎👍

Bruce, I don’t live there now, but if you are coming to England, you should loop in Corby.

We should have never left the old ways. Laws should always be written by the same people who must live by them. Ask our relatives in Ireland how oppressive laws are delt with. Law ? What law?

I long for the day when religion is forgotten; the word purged with the promise of death and in practice, taxed into oblivion.

great story as usual mate i would love if you could bring your tour to tewkesbury if at all possible

Bruce, come to Belfast and do our history please

If you came to Philadelphia I think it would be the best gift I could give my gran, Clydebank’s best :)

A new subscriber to your channel, this is my third vid of your's, so I decided to give my tuppence worth on a highly divisive issue. I like your cut, B, so thanks for uploading! Scotland was independent, when the _Acts of Union 1707_ contracts were signed and sealed. They are bilateral fiscal and political treaties and nothing more, although of great historical import. Article 18 states the contracts are _not_ being signed _in perpetuity,_ ergo, either party can walk away, whenever they please, without seeking agreement, never mind permission, from the other! Article 19 is the guarantee we remained and still are independent, contrary to Wastemonster's and Holeyrude's dishonest claims. Mind you, the bottom line is Holeyrude is the Scottish branch of Wastemonster that is operating unlawfully, in Scotland, as our _real_ Scottish govt sits on the opposition benches of Wastemonster! The English ruling classes set out to colonise us and they've done a damn good job of it. Few are aware, around the entire planet, that _every_ man, woman and child, in Scotland, are Sovereigns/Lieges, in their own right and are, in fact, the highest authority in the land. We are the living representation of the Scottish Crown! Ann, being queen of Scots, before taking the English Crown, was the last monarch, in the UKs, to swear the oath to uphold Scotland's _Claim of Right 1689._ None have, since, including Chic III, so none have _lawfully_ reigned over the Scots, having only sworn to uphold the Faith. Any legitimate Scottish govt is subject to our will, as it is _not_ Sovereign! Any monarch we invite to reign over us is also subject to our will. Both can be summarily dismissed, should such be our will, according to our _Scottish Constitutional Laws._ Think of them as being on zero hour contracts. Thankfully, we have organisations, here in Scotland, who are set on educating the people to laws and facts, so more folk become aware of their true status and rights. Unfortunately, this is rocking the political establishment, as they have a vested interest in keeping us ignorant of our past and Wastemonster's constant *Smoke and Mirrors Show,* and propaganda machinery is now coming up to speed. The United Kingdoms, _plural,_ not singular, as we're led to believe and a step towards colonising a nation, will do it's utmost to suppress the truth, but the genie is now well and truly out of the bottle. These organisations are non-party and non-political, more concerned with empowering the people and uncovering historical facts, via documents. They have been operational just a short while, considering the treaty is over three centuries old, one of the organisation being in existence for just over a year. Me, I don't get angry or frustrated at having to point out we do not seek what we already have, ie, independence. It affords me the opportunity to point out facts and to highlight how others have been lied to from the day they were born, unwittingly, in some cases, deliberate, in others. What some seek is to revoke the contract with England, as is our lawful right, but also to be able to vote on whether this is a course favoured by the majority of Sovereigns, first. Our Constitution guarantees we have the right to hold as many referenda as we wish as often as we wish on any subject we wish. Once the people of Scotland accept this inescapable fact we can finally get the matter of the union resolved one way or the other. Saor Alba. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You're coming to Canada? When? Where? Canada's really big, if you’re close enough, I'd love to see the show. 😊

Going to Canada Bruce 😆 that should be guid after yer show last night in Stirling 😂

interesting about the fall of Jerusalem being sept 20 1187, i was born sept 20 1987

Please come to North Carolina, USA. Preferably Asheville, NC or Charlotte, NC.

nice story .. thanks

Please bring ya show Back to the Other Perth.🇦🇺

Hey Bruce, How about a video of something really important that came from Scotland? Like the Bay City Rollers!

As a Britsh Indian living in England, but loves Scotland ...and as a Muslim, I'm grateful you shared this history. Brilliant as always.

Another interesting video Bruce 👍👍

Hello Bruce; I am a subscriber and although I know the part at the beginning is meant in a funny way (and it does look funny) but there is so much hatred aimed at Muslims due to extremist groups who are not actually Muslim (though they say they are) and don't follow the Quran at all, it would be a great help if you used a picture of some actual Muslim people, maybe a picture of the Bedouin people. Would you consider it, if it ever comes up again on your channel? Great video otherwise. I love your history videos and share them with my daughter. We love how you say, "Meantime, let me tell you a story." Her father was a natural storyteller whose grandparents immigrated from Ireland. He would often say, "I have a story for you."

Wonder if the First Minister will take a decko at this wee masterpiece?... 😁

Bruce, another amazing video. 👍

Bruce! Ive been watching your vids for quite some time now and love the presentation. We'd love to welcome you to Canada as I've always wanted to see the live show but live just outside Toronto. My father is in his early 80's and although we've an Irish last name, my da was born in Scotland. Cheers, mate. Keep on keepin on

Come back to Aberdeen please Bruce.😅 I & a few mates would definitely go to that.

Another great story told.... tickets booked see you next month

I reckon I'll have to come to you cousin, it'll be a year or two. I look forward to it. Across the Sea and far away. I must see Finlaystoun Manor and understand the relationsI have there as it is the home of my forebearance.

What would a quitclaim mean for other treaties where capture was the "bargaining" method? Could this aid a modern Scotland in an international court should they wish to be independent? Was the "original sin" the lack to be an objective third party by the capturing/offing people with ties & taking the country?

Again.... stuff I've never heard of,,,, these Treaties! Also the strange interlocking of Historical events separated by 100's of miles & Cultures.
