Provenance/Ownership History Colonel Lemotteux, Paris (by 1806; probably removed from Spain during the Peninsula War; sold for £15,000 to Elgin); Colonel Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin and 11th Earl of Kincardine, Broomhall, Dunfermline, Fife (1806–41); Earls of Elgin and of Kincardine, Broomhall (1841–1917); Edward James Bruce, 10th Earl of Elgin and 14th Earl of Kincardine, Broomhall (1917–52; sold through Agnew, London, for $207,200 to the Metropoitan Museum of Art) http://www.variant.randomstate.org/9texts/MarshallAnderson.html The Battle of Bannockburn memorial stands on a raised area hemmed in on three sides by urban development. It was the threat of this encroaching housing that compelled a national committee led by the 10th Earl of Elgin and Kincardineshire, head of the Bruce family, to raise funds to purchase the 58 acre site in 1930. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Alexander_Bruce%2C_9th_Earl_of_Elgin Victor Alexander Bruce, 9th Earl of Elgin, 13th Earl of Kincardine, KG (16 May 1849 – 18 January 1917) was a British statesman who served as Viceroy of India from 1894 to 1899. Lord Bruce (as he was known until his father's death in 1863) was born in Montreal, while his father was serving as Governor- General of Canada. Educated at Glenalmond, Eton and Balliol College, Oxford, Elgin entered politics as a Liberal, serving as First Commissioner of Works under Gladstone in 1886. Following in his father's footsteps, Elgin was made Viceroy of India in 1894. His viceroyalty was not a particularly notable one. Elgin himself did not enjoy the pomp and ceremony associated with the viceroyalty, and his conservative instincts were not well suited to a time of economic and social unrest. He returned to England in 1899 and was made a Knight of the Garter. From 1902 to 1903, Elgin was made chairman of the commission that investigated the conduct of the Second Boer War. When the Liberals returned to power in 1905, Elgin became Secretary of State for the Colonies (with Winston Churchill as his Under- Secretary). As colonial secretary, he pursued a conservative policy, and opposed the generous settlement of the South African question proposed by Prime Minister Campbell-Bannerman, which was enacted more in spite of the Colonial Secretary's opposition than due to his efforts. Elgin retired from public life in 1908, dying nine years later at the family estate in Dunfermline. http://www.brucefamily.com/lineage.htm He married Constance Carnegie. They had 6 sons: Edward, Robert, Alexander, David, John and Victor; and 5 daughters: Elizabeth, Christian, Constance, Marjorie, and Rachel. 85.

On 20 October 1904, he married Violet Evelyn Harford (a descendant of the 2nd Earl of Rosse) and they had six children: The Lady Jean Margaret Florence Dalrymple (1905–2001) John Aymer Dalrymple, Viscount Dalrymple (later 13th Earl of Stair) (1906–1996) The Lady Marion Violet Dalrymple (born 1908) Captain The Hon.

Castle Kennedy Lochinch Castle, completed in 1867, replaced Castle Kennedy which was destroyed by fire in 1716. Sadly, the early history and pictures of Castle Kennedy were lost in the fire, but the castle is known to have been standing in the 14th century. There are no surviving pictures of the castle in habitable condition. However, the castle has been extended, and you will notice that the two wings on the keep are not part of the original structure.
