Brucefield House
Brucefield is an 18th-century country house in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. It is located east of Clackmannan. The house was largely built in 1724 by Alexander Bruce, younger of Kennet. It was restored in the early 20th century, and is now protected as a Category A listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brucefield, Listed Building Report )〕
==History==
Alexander Bruce (d.1747) was a soldier who fought in Flanders during the War of the Spanish Succession, and also fought on the government side during the Jacobite rising of 1715.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brig.-Gen. Alexander Bruce )〕 Bruce married Mary Balfour, daughter of Robert Balfour, 4th Lord Balfour of Burleigh, in 1714. Ten years later he built or substantially remodelled the house of Brucefield. The location of the house was described by the diarist John Ramsay of Ochtertyre (1736–1814) as being "upon the top of a moor without a tree".〔 The house passed to Alexander's son Robert (1718–1785), who became a Lord of Session under the title Lord Kennet.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robert Bruce, Lord Kennet )〕 Around 1758 he sold Brucefield House to George Abercromby of Tullibody, whose daughter he had married in 1754. George Abercromby's son, Sir Ralph Abercromby (1734–1801), was a prominent soldier in the Napoleonic Wars.
During the 1930s the house was restored for the Bruce family by the architect James Shearer. It is now the home of the current Lord Balfour of Burleigh, a descendant of the 4th Lord Balfour of Burleigh through the Bruces of Kennet.〔
