Biography
This profile is part of the Bruce Name Study.
The Bruce family of Kildrummy descends from the Norman family of de Brusee who came over to England in 1066. One of the two de Brusee brothers inherited large tracts of land in Scotland and married into Scottish royalty. It was from him that Robert the Bruce descended. The Bruces of Kildrummy appear to descend from a younger brother of Robert the Bruce and descendants live throughout the world.
