I don't know if this has been run before, (apologies if it has) but not everyone has filled in the location bit in the profile. ..... and I am very nosey! :nod: Me, well, I'm from the wee village of Cardross, near Dumbarton, North of sunny Glasgow.
Well Buster you know where I am from also. But you..................... A minutes silence here: View attachment 3300 And a wee dram (or three) here after: View attachment 3301 AJ Cronin territory. Two of my favourite movies came from his pen! "The Citadel" with Robert Donat and "The Keys of the Kingdom" with Gregory Peck.
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..
