Day 14 - Robert the Bruce

This is an ancestor of mine, or at least he may be, genealogy can be quite tricky it seems. You see, a relative of mine researched the family tree a while back, and for a long time, we were sure that we stemmed from the Scottish royal family. Later, he found out that somewhere along the line two people with the exact same name crossed paths, and we could have stemmed from either one of them. So, either I carry a bit of royal blood, or a little dash of blood from a certain tailor. Funny huh? Anyway, we're definitely sure that there's Scottish blood in there, and that's pretty cool no matter whom it came from. That connection makes Scotland special to me.
