so if this lady was indeed the daughter of Archibald Primrose would it not be that of Margret as other areas with this have her as the wife of Sir George of Carnock, which is not to be confused with his close relative Sir George Bruce of Culross.
Sir George Bruce married Margaret Primrose, daughter of Archibald Primrose. He died on 6 May 1625, He was the son of Sir Edward Bruce of Blairhall and Alison Reid. He bought Carnock from Sir A. Lindsay. He was invested as a Knight by King James VI. He held the office of Member of Parliament (M.P.) for Culross. In 1597 he built Culross Palace. Circa 1600 he bought Werty Gellett (renamed Broomhall) from John Pitcairn of that Ilk. He was a member of the Committee to negotiate union with England in 1604. He lived at Carnock, Fife, Scotland.
Working my way through the Male Bruce Line, starting in Australia / South Africa (yes we are here in Australia and South Africa and descend from the Royal Bruce Line through Clackmannan / Carnock through to present day) I have noticed that there are names that seem to cross over and in fact get confused with each other, the two Sir Georges of Culross and Carnock as prime examples. I have also noted that there is a fair bit of ‘We assume that this is the Bruce of a charter’ or ‘possibly it the Bruce named’ or the best one yet ‘we assume it is this Robert Bruce’. The last time I checked history was not made of assumptions, or possibilities, it was set by true articles, in these cases the Royal Charters of the time. So could you please let me know the correct name for this lady so I can move forward with my family tree.
Kindest regards

1) SP and Nisbet both refer to Euphan or Euphame while Burke refers to her as Margaret. Should one prefer one name over the other? 2) Burke names the father 'Archibald' and Nisbet along wth SP vol 3, p. 485 do the same. SP vol 7, p 214, however, says the father is 'David' and the mother Janet Blaw.
