The Earl & Countess of Elgin and Kincardine KT
|
As a working voluntary group we aim to promote historical links in Strathleven towards King Robert the Bruce and King David II. Other subjects will include "Tobias Smollet", the "Turkey Red Dye Works" also the waterways such as the river Leven which flows through Renton village towards the river Clyde. We also aim to rebuild King Robert the Bruce's Manor House at "Dalquhurn Point" (see ancient map), or within that area. Our ambitions are to promote tourism, employment, and let our history help with the future.
A Charity Promotional Banquet at Broom Hall Dunfermline
celebrating the 700th anniversary of the Bruce Coronation has led to some very important contacts.
The Earl and Countess of Elgin and Kincardine received us with a hearty welcome. They were so impressed by our portfolio promoting our national history and heritage that Lord Elgin became our patron. This exception of patronage should help send out the right message to potential corporate sponsors and members of the wider community who may be in a position to help us to achieve our aims.
