Tour Scotland photograph of the Robert The Bruce Statue on the esplanade outside Stirling Castle, Stirling, Scotland. Bruce was descended from ancestors in Brix, in Flanders. In 1124, King David I granted the massive estates of Annandale to his follower, Robert de Brus, in order to secure the border. The name, Robert, was very common in the family.
Robert the Bruce and William Wallace were of the same period in Scottish history, but their aims were, to begin with, very different.
