    I have a uncle by marriage, Robert the Bruce would be my uncle John McIntosh 20th great grandfather, how cool is that! Presently I have been doing a lot of research on Scotland to input on our ancestry tree. Only one young daughter, Marjorie Bruce (10) was captured and King Edward I of England sent her to Gilbertine convent at Watton. Her step mother Elizabeth (de Burgh) was placed under house arrest at a manor house in Yorkshire. Marjorie's two aunts that were also captured, Christina (Bruce) went to another convent, aunt Mary (Bruce) was not so lucky and imprisoned in wooden cage exposed to public view. I loved the video, Thank you Evelyn.

    I've read that an Arran branch of the Fullerton were one of those that looked after Robert the Bruce in Brodick Bay and a Fergus Fullerton was later awarded with lands by him in Kilmichael, Arran in 1307. I've also read a Fullerton was among the Knights that accompanied The Black Douglas on a journey to take Robert's heart to the Holy Land, unfortunately they both met their end in Spain fighting Moors...oh and I recommend people watch "The Outlaw King" on Netflix especially if you want to know who the Black Douglas is :)

    Your so good with delivering information with knowledge
    Of the King's and Queens of Scotland and england
    The beach had some really great stones.. And how you manage to pick up on great details and toads you never gave the toad a kiss to see if any truth in toads turning in to Princes.. But the your the queen of the castles
    That would of been a step down becoming a princess...
    Thanks very good production

    I'm from the southend of Arran. I come from the mackinnon family - which is one of the oldest families on arran. It was a local Mackinnon widow that helped him take refuge. She also made her two sons pledge realty to him.

    Wow! Fantastic video QOTC! I love the "Robert the Bruce" history, and it was a great start to your channel! I am really amazed that you are a descendant of the Scottish king. Perhaps you can share with us, in another episode, how you came to that fact.
    The collage of scenarios, vistas, and castles, just makes this part of Scottish history alive.
    Two thumbs up!
