Biography
Euphemia Bruce was the daughther of Robert de Brus and Isabelle (Huntingdon) de Bruce.[1]
The wife of Ivone Kirkpatrick is said to be Euphemia, the daughter of Robert Brus, Lord of Annandale and Cleveland.[2][3] The identity of the wife of Ivone Kirkpatrick is, however, not completely proven but supported by a family tree that was at one time in the possession of James Bruce, 8th Earl of Elgin - see Research Notes below.
She married Ivone Kirkpatrick of Closeburn, son of William Kirkpatrick.
Child of Ivone Kirkpatrick of Closeburn and his wife:
- Adam Kirkpatrick of Closeburn
Research Notes
- Disputed parents: many editions of the Peerage give Robert de Brus (1206-1245) and Isabelle (Huntingdon) de Bruce (1199-1252) as the parents of the wife of Ivone Kirkpatrick of Closeburn and she has been previously identified as Euphemia Bruce. This, however, is not proven by beyond a doubt. Other reliable pre-1500 sources such as the The Scots Peerage don't mention a marriage between Euphemia, as daughter of Bruce, and Ivo Kirkpatrick.
- Scots Peerage in 1904 makes no mention of Ivo of Kirkpatrick's wife. Ivo is named in at least 3 charters from William Bruce and Robert Bruce with no mention of his wife.[4] But one must consider that there was more than one Ivone (one the father of William Kirkpatrick and the other the son of William Kirkpatrick). Whether charters always named wives is an interesting question but as both the elder Ivone and younger Ivone had issue, one can be certain that they had mates and as the legitimacy of the children does not seem to be in question, these mates were likely wives. Therefore, if one accepts that they both had wives, the lack of their being mentioned in charters does not enter into whether the wife of the younger Ivone was or was not Euphame Bruce.

Richard Kirkpatrick cites a family tree from the Bruce family in support of Richardson as well as to identify her husband as Ivone Kirkpatrick.
It might be prudent to put any uncertainty in research notes for both profiles of the couple and possibly be sure to set the status for any children as 'uncertain' for the mother.
The Earl of Elgin at the time, was James Bruce, 8th Earl and it is possible that the current Earl, his great-grandson Andrew Bruce, 11th Earl has it in his possession. He looks to be age 97, so maybe one can contact his son Charles, Lord Bruce.
And on reflection, I think that the fact that a Bruce tree refers to a Kirkpatrick marriage makes it more credible than if it was a Kirkpatrick tree, given that the Kirkpatricks in the main held lands from the Bruces (excluding Closeburn).
But of course the crucial point is what the tree, if we could get hold of it, actually states.

- People of Medieval Scotland (https://www.poms.ac.uk/search/?index_type=person&q=euphemia+bruce&min_date=1093&max_date=1371) does not mention her.
- The Scots Peerage mentions only one daughter, Beatrice (https://archive.org/details/scotspeeragefoun02paul/page/430/mode/2up).
- Richardson, Royal Ancestry, 2013, Vol. 1, p589 gives no daughters.

I'm now in agreement with you Nigel, failing someone being able to access what's in the 2003 edition of Burke's, I would suggest her detatchment, but please leave a = Disputed Parents = section with the unproven parents for future reference.
