I live about an hour’s drive from Dunfermline. We have a statue of Robert the Bruce as he is an interest of my
Husband. Our town is the cradle of the Stuart royal line, the castle was here. Our street was where the dog kennels of
The castle were.
Lots of history here and I continue to learn about it. Your Robert is quite handsome.

Oh, I would so love to visit he places connected to Robert! I loved and admired him before I learned we are related, so he is very special to me. He is one of my personal heroes! I portrayed him as I see him, with those blue eyes that I know would penetrate someone’s soul! sigh I admit that I take him and his history quite seriously and personally. Such a wonderfully fascinating man! xo
