Clyde and Lomond Heritage

In this, part two of our look at Robert the Bruce, we talk about his lineage and his wives. From Royal stock, Bruce had a strong claim to the throne but family rivals and connections to King Edward 1 made his journey far from straight forward. Paul and Robert chat about this and much more.

Paul and Robert have a chat about the formation of our landscape and the first settlers that may have come to the area after the ice receeded around 11,700 years ago. As usual, they go off at tangents from time to time.
