Scotland History Tours

Hi, my name is Bruce. For years I worked as a teacher, then as a stand-up comedian performing shows about Scottish history and culture. In 2017 I decided to take what I’ve learned to show you the country I have loved and lived in all my life.

I'd like to show you the magical and mysterious places that make Scotland famous. I'd love to tell you about the people who lived there and made Scotland’s history. I would be delighted to take you round my home of Perthshire and show you Scotland’s story in one county.

I have planned one, two and four-day tours. You can take a seat on a pre-planned tour, or you can hire me and a quality vehicle for a bespoke tour that will take you to your heart’s desire.

Fancy it? Go on then, click a button and let’s go on a journey together...

The trip was great. Interesting activities (boat trip and tour around castle etc), coffee and lunch stops, as well as taking in some beautiful scenery in comfort. Historic stories with a twist of Bruce humour. I think it's a winner !!!!

Very enjoyable day touring Perthshire and learning that I really don't know that much about Scotland's history at all. Bruce's knowledge is vast and he delivers it in a very enthusiastic way. If you want to know more about Scotland I thoroughly recommend spending a day on one of these tours !

Spent a freezing cold day with Bruce yesterday but it was worth it. Amazing amount of knowledge. Great fun and great company. Well worth a trip. Thanks for the humorous insight into history.
