Sir Thomas Bruce, 1st Baron of Clackmannan, who died 1358 or 1359, was the first Baron of Clackmannan and the possible grandson or grandnephew of King Robert the Bruce. Most Bruces of today are descended from Thomas Bruce's lineage, and current Chief of the Clan, Andrew Bruce, 11th Earl of Elgin, is a descendant of Sir Thomas. Thomas' son, Robert, became the second Baron of Clackmannan. Sir Robert Bruce, 2nd Baron of Clackmannan, who died 1403, was the son of Sir Thomas Bruce 1st Baron of Clackmannan and Marjorie Charteris of Stenhouse.
