    Hi Buster,

    Did Robert the Bruce really die at Cardross or was it a wee bit up the road?

    Bruce died in the parish of cardross, which at that time encompassed some of the neighbouring town of Dumbarton. There is much speculation as to where his manse stood but the strongest of evidence points to the area of Levengrove park in Dumbarton.

    Linky.. I'll endeavour to get a picture of the plaque if you are interested.

    By all means.

    I know Hollywood used a great deal of "licence" with "Braveheart" however the renewed interest in this period of Scottish history is astounding.

    Many have condemned it as rubbish (my Glaswegian brother in Law included) however balanced out it has done more good than bad.
