The line travels through the powerful Bruces of Airth, the Stewarts of Innermeath & Lorn, and noble houses including Kennedy, Campbell, Douglas, Livingston, and Hamilton. Your earliest documented royal ancestors lived in the 14th century, with multiple pathways connecting you to at least ten Scottish monarchs.
